Re: permanent Allimony

The answer depends on the specific language of the final order as it pertains to alimony. Without seeing it and discussing other details, it is impossible to adequately answer your question.

These are complex issues, and it is important that they be handled correctly. Therefore, it is important that you consult an experienced family law attorney to find out what options are available to you based on the facts of your particular case.
