alimony

What is the name of your state? ma

I've check out other divorce message boards. I have to tell you, this one is the worst. No wonder it's free

Ok.. you have 4 posts to your name and while doing a search to see what your problem was I see you were advised to get an attorney and try to get your problem modified but that your chances were slim. Have you since the 8th of this month actually done that? And are you going to say that you have already won so to prove that the advice given to you was wrong?

I have reviewed other post, and I agree, that when
people come her for advice, they are shot down and
ridiculed. If attornyes are acting like that, they should be ashamed.

REMOVED DUE TO BILL'S ATTITUDE.

And if you read the entire front page it tells you that not everyone that replies here is an attorney. They are CONSUMERS advising CONSUMERS. Just about anything anyone wants to know is on the net... ALL it takes is research and a mind willing to hear and listen. Besides... it's better to be told the truth and be harsh then be patted on the back and lied to.

amazing how a negative post to this site, gives
me more feeback then my initial question. No, i have
not spoken to an attorney yet, because I am "ok" with the fact
that my alimony payment is not going to the ex in "ga", but to the mortgage on my old house in "ma" where my daughter and grandkids live. But I have spoken to my daughter, and she knows that I will be addressing the alimony order within in the year

REMOVED DUE TO BILL'S ATTITUDE!

i forget the exact wording, but basially its permanent
with the "merge" clause. Remarrage, retirement, substancial change due to cohabitaition. The substancial change is the fact
that she does not use the alimony money for her support in Ga.
She uses it pay the mortgage on the hold home in Ma. I understand she has the right to do whatever she wants with the money, but seems to me, if 0% of the alimony money is used to
support her day to day living in Ga, then thats a substancial change in circumstance.

REMOVED DUE TO BILL'S ATTITUDE!

Then I will look into having the order modified to a "reabilatative" alimony order. Seems fair to me. Anyway, thanks for the feedback, thats all i was looking for

In that case your "other" posts aren't needed then are they?

<that was a hint bill>

bite me obie,

farewell

Why is it so terrible that your ex is using her alimony to help out your daughter and grandkids? I'm not getting that.

Its not bad. I'm very happy with that. If alimony got terminated, I would still pay the mortgage (even without a tax break) on alimony. I have grandkids there too. My point is, there is a substancial change in her financial situation since she moved to Ga. i.e., she has no bills, she is taken care of, etc etc. Its something the courts should be aware of. Thanks for the feedback on this board, however its frustrating at times. I will see a lawyer soon, just not in a hurry, again, cos the alimony is providing a roof over my kids heads.
