I agreed to pay my ex-wife alimony of 50% of my wages so the creditors could not garnish my wages. Now she refuses to pay any expenses and hoards the money. What can I do, Moneyist?
I have an irrevocable judgment against me. The creditors wanted to put a lien on my wages, so I agreed to pay my ex-wife alimony of 50% of my wages so the creditors could not garnish my wages. We live together as roommates.
What can I do ? Can I go back to the court and try to change the percentage of the amount of the alimony? I cannot continue getting deeper into debt. I cannot ask her to leave the house, because we are both on the title. Please help.You can email The Moneyist with any financial and ethical questions related to coronavirus at qfottrell@marketwatch.com, and follow Quentin Fottrell on Twitter.
A reduction or modification of alimony is typically awarded due to a change in circumstances — if your wife remarried or had a significant increase in her income, for instance, or if you had a dramatic fall in your own income. Did your divorce lawyer agree to your previous plan to give your wife 50% of your income in exchange for living expenses? That seems an unusual arrangement. If so, find a new lawyer this time, and tell him or her the unvarnished truth.By emailing your questions, you agree to having them published anonymously on MarketWatch.
