More details to this question:
I was married 13 years, divorced now for 8.5 years. Alimony was addressed in the divorced preceding, which stated that I could file at a later date. Is it still possible to file?

If the Judgement reserved jurisdiction over the issue of spousal support then you may still be able to have that issue addressed by the Court. Your marriage is long term so the issue usually would remain open unless specifically terminated in the judgment.

So long as there is not a termination date, yes you can. But: Based on the length of your marriage and the length of time you have been apart, I suspect the court won't order it at this late date. Good luck anyway.
