I work for a large corp that is laying off employees and I am one of them. Will I still have to pay alimony or can I get it change. We both have since moved to other states from the state we were divorced in.

It depends on whether your Judgment of Divorce says that alimony is modifiable or non-modifiable. Even if non-modifiable, if a change of circumstances creates an impossibility to pay alimony, then the court may be able to give you some relief. Another option is if you and your ex-wife agree to a change then a Stipulation and Order can enter with that change.
