What is the name of your state? Florida
I'm hoping someone can offer some information on what's involved in filing a Motion to Amend some of the wording in our Final Judgment. The wording states that "should Husband leave his current employer, alimony shall continue at the amount of Husband's final salary....." Under normal circumstances, it would make sense that someone's final salary would be their highest salary, but my former spouse has already been demoted once in this job, plus a lot would be riding on this for him to look at a demotion or downsizing as a way to decrease alimony, and then go on to employment elsewhere. I have approached him about my concerns with the wording and he evidently has already noticed the vagueness of it. He doesn't want it changed because he says that if he got sick or ever had a boss come in that he didn't get along with, that he'd have trouble doing his job. Would I have to go back before a Judge in person to ask that this be changed or can it be handled just by the necessary legal paperwork. I'm hoping to be able to change the words "final salary" to "highest salary". If anyone has any opinions as to how the wording should be, I'd appreciate any thoughts.
