It depends on the terms of your maintenance (alimony). If she agree to terminate maintenance, she might have to file to modify, which is a fairly high burden - she would have to show a substantial and continuing change of circumstances, and then the court would assess what she should get, which depends on her income, your income, lenghth of the marriage, etc. We can assist you in Colorado - feel free to contact us if you would like to discuss this further. I hope this helps.
