Legal Question in Family Law in New York

Alimony Payments

The exact language of the divorce decree [and/or the separation agreement if there was one & it was incorporated into the decree] will govern. It is certainly w/in the realm of possibility that a divorce granted 21 years ago might well have had no other *escape valve* other than re-marriage. However, again, the exact language of the decree will control {and control whether there's a needle's-eye worth of loophole to try to seek relief}.

Regards, etc.,
