The property part of your question is yes, I believe that that type of settlement is pretty common. I do not know the answer about getting a modification of alimony. However, if he is now getting social security disability, I believe that she can now also get money from SSA (I think it depends on her age...give SSA a call to find out for sure). If she can get money from social security, that money may be able to be counted as part of his alimony. That is how it works with child support...I'm not sure of how it works with alimony. You didn't say what state you live in or that the divorce took place in so I can't give you any specific advice. Look up your state's "marriage and disolution statutes" to find out if the alimony can be modified.
