  • My first experience with Just Answer has been better than I ever thought possible. I had a fairly complex legal question regarding Medicare provider regulations. For a week I had been trying to find an attorney familiar with Medicare but to no avail. I really didn't expect anyone at Just Answer to know anything about this issue. Yet the attorney who answered my question, Dimitry Alexander Kaplun, Esq., not only answered the question but cited the specific Medicare regulation in question. For six years, I was a Westlaw representative so I've worked with hundreds of attorneys. Some attorneys are knowledgable and some aren't, especially about administrative law. But Mr. Kaplun clearly had an exceptional understanding of the issue and was able to explain it concisely. I would recommend Just Answer to anyone. Great service that lives up to it's promises!

Customer Question

I live in FL, my ex in AL. We were divorced ~15years ago in AL and I have been paying permanent alimony. There is a stong possibility I will be laid off in the near future. If this happens, can I file a motion to reduce payments? Is this a difficult situation for the courts to understand? Should I have an attorney in AL or FL or both?

Thanks,
Tom

Good afternoon Tom,

I'm sorry to hear of your dilemma.

Yes, should you suffer a significant change in financial circumstances you can apply for a modification of alimony. You will need to retain an Alabama attorney local to the same court that issued your divorce decree to file the petition for you. This is a normal occurance in the court system and the judges are seeing it much more regularly with the economy being in such a shambles.

I wish you the best.

Thank you very much for having allowed me to assist you. It would be greatly appreciated if you would click the green Accept icon so that I can receive credit for having assisted you.

Best regards,

Doug
