What is the name of your state? Florida :
Sorry about the long background, but I have to set the stage for my question. I have been paying $1,100/mo alimony since 02/1993 through 11/2004, and carry a $100,000 insurance policy with my ex-wife as my beneficiary($2,500/year). I lost my job in July 2002 and since then I have been trying to start my own business and also looking for a job, with no success. I have not had any income since 8/2002.
I am almost 60 years old and have a heart condition (implanted defibrillator), and a total knee replacement. In all this time I have basically depleted my life savings to the point where I have nothing in the bank, and owe a substantial amount of money to a lot of people including the IRS. I am remarried and own a home.
My ex-wife, thru her attorney, is demanding payment, partial payments, and interest for the amount I owe, and suggesting I mortgage my house to pay for all of this. I replied that I would pay the moment I am able and that I would also include any back pay I owe, but they want some now and for me to promise when I can start paying in full, which I can't promise. Our children are grown and out of the house. I will not be able to pay anything under any circumstances right now anyway.
What I want to do is file for a Change of Circumstance and stop the entire process. What are my chances? Anybody experience something like this?
