Do yourself a favor & stay OUT of this end of your relationship with this man. It sounds as though he really knows how to pick em! You will probably become ex-wife #2 if you ever get married. Wife # 1 is entitled to 1/2 of his Social Security Benefits if the marriage lasted 10 years or longer & if she does not remarry. If she can prove that his promotion was concealed at the time of the divorce, then she has grounds to ask for an increase of alimony based on his earnings increase.

In most states you cannot go back to courts to increase alimony only child support. Even that most of the time isnt worth the money an attorney would charge you to do so..... depends on how big the promotion is. Also, be aware that if your divorce is already final you can't go back to court for many things unless children are involved. I would advise you to get back on your feet alone and take what you are already getting for however long you are getting it. Speaking from personal experience, once the alimony stops you will really need to be ready for that loss of income each month and you will need to be able to meet the needs of your bill and expenses on your own.... I wish you luck in all you do and I hope that you are able to find something worth doing with your life- It is hard to work when you aren't passionate about what your doing.

Anyone can sue anyone for any reason if they find a willing attorney. The question is will they prevail. If there has been a change in income, you surely can ask the court to revisit the question of alimony and adjust.

nicely there is quite no could desire to be jealous - and undesirable blood will purely positioned your son in the middle. That mentioned, youre no longer the only individual to sense jealous because of the fact of an ex. yet in fact that all of us (optimistically) have a tendency to verify from our final relationships and hence make modifications to accomodate our new ones. I cant say I havent theory greater suitable than as quickly as "Geez, why couldnt you have been like that with ME?" - yet I continuously ought to comprehend that we in no way quite might have been that way with one yet another. If we had stayed mutually he wouldnt have found out something and neither might I. Thats the element approximately maximum relationships... you in no way quite study something until eventually after the fact; on reflection. And besides you have been the two youthful then and characteristic on account that finished some starting to be up. who's to declare lower back then he wouldnt have been scuffling with together with her until eventually 4am too, ya be responsive to? So dont take it for my area. Its okay to grasp which you're feeling the form you do and its completely well-known, yet in the long-term it isnt healthful and only permit it pass.

Tell the ex to contact his divorce attorney to see the language of their marital termination agreement and if there was a provision in the spousal support portion of the decree that with-held anything, meaning it could be re-opened at at later date. His attorney should be able to tell him what he is looking at, since they will be familiar with that state's laws

Probably not because alimony is set on your contribution to the past sucess of your former partner, not his future sucess. His current spouse or partner can claim responcibility for that.

She probably can, if she is that much of a free-loader. She really should get a job and support herself though. I am divorced, and I support myself. So I know it will not kill or even hurt you to do so.
