    Alimony during tough times
    Hello:

    If you work for a company that may be folding soon, and you find yourself out of a job, about the same time your wife decides she wants to leave you, and the judge orders alimony, yet you loose your job and due to this economy have to settle for a considerable less wage on the hour, what do you do? Just go to jail?

    Or move to Mexico?

    Just wondering, I'm predicting a 50% chance of rain on this one...

    Go back to court and request a modification order due to change in financial situation.

    Happens all the time.

    And normally you don't go to jail for not paying alimony, you go to jail for not paying child support

    Thanks for the info. Don't know what's going to happen. Sometimes one threatens to leave while the other threatens to lay off, sometimes one does it and the other don't.

    Sometimes every plays nice. I don't know what the hell to expect one day from the next.
