Columbus, IN asked in Divorce for Illinois

Q: Would a divorce finalized in Sept 2017 in Illinois ever be given the chance to move to the new IMDMA maintenance formula

With the new maintenance formula adjustments, it would change my maintenance order from 2.4 years to 1.6 years, so have to ask if there is anyway to move to the new formula if the divorce was finalized in Sept. 2017.
