FOR WEST VIRGINIA ONLY: You may file a petition to modify. Whether you will receive any additional relief depends on whether the case can be reopened, and the evidence and testimony presented if it is reopened. No one can predict the outcome of a case. You need to consult an attorney.

If a Judgment has already been entered then you can go back to court only if the court reserved juridiction over support. If it did not reserve jurisdiction then you can not bring it up now unless you have grounds to challenge the judgment as a whole. You should consult a family law attorney to review all of the documents and advise you.

Depends on the language in the Final Judgment.

I would have to read your judgment. If it banned alimony and was consented to you have very, very limited options to set it aside.

You can always go back to Court. Whether or not the Court will find in your favor will depend upon the evidence you present to justify the modification.

Once the divorce has been completed, you cannot go back.
