If I lose my job can I go to court to reduce / end lifetime alimony

I have seen your question. My name is David Salvaggio.  I have more than 35 years of legal experience and head a law firm that devotes its practice exclusively to New Jersey Divorce and Family Law matters.  Please feel free to take a look at our Firm Website (www.salvaggiolaw.com) for further information about my firm.  The answer to your question is: You certainly can try to file a Motion.  However, I would strongly recommend that you first invest in a meeting with a good New Jersey divorce lawyer.   The New Jersey Alimony Reform Act of 2014 made changes to the law regarding the effect of unemployment and retirement on alimony obligations. You need to know those changes in advance, and you would benefit greatly from expert advice regarding your chances of success.  Your chances of success would also be greatly increased, if you had a good lawyer properly prepare, file and serve the necessary Motion papers.  There are many requirements which need to be followed.    I would be happy to have a very brief telephone call with you, to get a few more facts. What you tell me remains confidential and there is no charge for the call. Your question does not specify the town in which you live.  My firm's offices are located in Morristown, NJ (Morris County).  We handle cases in all of the counties in northern and central New Jersey, including not only Morris County but also Somerset, Hunterdon, Sussex, Warren, Passaic, Bergen, Hudson, Middlesex and Monmouth counties. If you live in one of those counties and wish to schedule a brief, confidential telephone call with me, please call my office (973-455-1220) and speak to the firm’s Client Intake Coordinator Dara Vanderhoof.  She will be able to arrange a mutually convenient date and time for the call.
