A: The fastest way to stop the bleeding is to take all the money you owe out of your 401k and give it to your ex. If you are not happy with that advice then the only way to TRY to stop the bleeding is to return to the Circuit Court that entered the Order imposing alimony and plead your case as to why you need it more than your ex needs it. Sounds doable to me.

A: Depending on the Order and Settlement Agreement, you will likely need to file a motion to terminate or abate alimony. Please call us for a free consultation 407-878-5942.
