after 5 years?

What is the name of your state? AZ

Can a former spouse, after 5 years, be able to take me to court for more money? There are no children involved. All spousal maintenance has been paid in full (even an extra $200!) All debts listed have been paid. I keep getting threatened that she will take me to court again.What is the name of your state?

Anybody file a lawsuit against anyone else for anything at any time.

He/she can certainly try. A more appropriate question is what chance he/she has of winning.

In general, I think it's unlikely that it will get anywhere (unless you were hiding assets or income at the time of the divorce).

Funny, but my ex tells me that her attorney told her she should be going back to court every year for more money on general principles. I guess the theory is that she'll probably lose, but it doesn't cost her that much to file. If she gets lucky and wins something, there's a big gain.

If she does, have your atty petition to have HER pay your atty fees.

That is sickening.
