Can Alimony Order Be Modified


What is the name of your state? Connecticut

Can a non modifiable alimony decree/order be modified due to changes in financial circumstance?

I am paying alimony in the sum of $1000.00 per month. The order was set as non modifiable. However, I have been unemployed for over 8 months and currently dont have the income coming in to pay the alimony. I have a child and a new wife. My wife is earning $10.50 per hour and is supporting the 3 of us and paying the alimony to my ex wife. I have been looking for employment yet to no avail. It is very difficult and it is taking food out of my childs mouth as again I am unemployed. Please Help!!!!

Can this non modifiable order be modified in the state of Connecticut

Why has he spent over $1.35M in legal fees to block disclosure... rather than spend $12 for a VALID birth cert to settle the matter? The 'certificate' he has presented doesn't qualify to get a drivers license, wouldn't allow a child to qualify for Little League, or for a real citizen to get a US passport!

The alimony order simply says its non modifiable. It was done so she couldn't come back and take me to court in case my circumstances improved. Only they didnt I lost my job.

Similar question concerning alimony.


State is Virginia. I have a similar question concerning alimony.
My ex and I have a Property Settlement Agreement which addresses alimony.
This PSA states alimony is to terminate upon my re-marriage or when our child turns 18. Alimony may also be reduced when I become employed. The PSA was incorporated, but not merged with the final decree of divorce. PSA signed in late 2004, divorce final earlier this year. It also states that this Agreement shall be interpreted and construed under the laws of VA on its effective date and no amendment, modification, or waiver of this Agreement shall be valid unless in writing and signed by both parties.

My question is, can this PSA be modified due to my boyfriend living with me?
From what I have read concerning VA law, if a judge sets alimony it may be modified or terminated. But if there is a PSA, signed before the divorce, alimony can not be modified, only enforced, by a judge. At this time, I do rely on alimony and CS to pay my bills and provide for my family and my boyfriend is unable to provide much support as he has his own prior obligations to his first family. I need to know where I stand on this issue.. Thank you.

If it is a different state... it isn't similar.
Don't hijack someone elses thread. It is both rude (in your diverting the post from them to you) and confusing (when you think a response is to you when it isn't).
Start your own thread.
