- Q. I voluntarily agreed to pay my ex wife alimony. I’ve been paying her for 10 years now and she remarried. Can I revoke it
- A: If your agreement is silent as when Alimony should end and your ex-wife has remarried, you should retain an experienced attorney to file a notice of Motion to terminate alimony. Remarriage is one of the legal grounds for termination of alimony unless an agreement or order states otherwise. In your case, it seems that all you need to prove is that your ex has remarried. Please contact a matrimonial lawyer.
- Q. My husband divorced me 14 years ago. I am still living with him because he never paid me my settlement. Can you help me
- A: You should have filed a motion to enforce your settlement 14 years ago. You never enforced it till now. Many changes have occurred between your divorce and your cohabitation. I think you really should retain a lawyer who focuses on matrimonial law and post-judgment divorce actions.
- Q. If you have 35 days to file a written answer or motion, is it 35 calendar days or 35 business days?
- A: The 35 day period references calendar days. If the end of the calendar period of 35 days ends on a weekend or a holiday you can file on the next business day. Under the rules, Saturdays, Sundays and holidays are excluded.
