If you are court ordered to pay the alimony and you stop paying it without filing a motion to modify then your wages may be garnished. You will still be required to pay the amount of alimony ordered until the alimony is modified or abated. If it was a Kentucky court then you need to hire a Kentucky attorney to help you file such a motion to end the alimony if there has been a significant change in circumstances that causes the previous order to be unfair.

I know just not paying might seem like a good idea but I discourage you from doing that because it will cause more of a headache for you and cost more than just hiring an attorney to file a motion to modify.

I hope this has helped and I wish you all the best.
