What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? NJ
I was divorced 4 years ago and received limited duration non-modifiable (in duation or amount) alimony of $700/month through September 1, 2009 or upon the sale of the marital home, whichever is later. I pay the $2,500 mortgage and ALL the household expen. I made this sacrifice so that I would not have to uproot my 2 children. The alimony amount was determined based on what I needed in order to pay the mortgage.
My Exhusband pays no household bills but agreed to this arrangement because the house would be considered an investment to him and he is entitled to 50% of the proceeds from the sale of the house. The mortgage payments that I have made have reduced the principal balance by $20K and the house (even with the current conditions) has gone up in value by $250 since the divorce.
The problem is I just got married this month. I plan to place the house on the market next week. My new husband does not live in my house with me; he owns his own home and lives there. My new husband doesn't contribute to any of my household expenses (he has his own). My Ex-husbands income is currently twice mine. I will not be able to pay the mortgage without his $700 in alimony. What advice can you give for when I present my oral arguement? This isn't right. I've always been more than fair after being married over 13 years.What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
