Legal Question in Family Law in Utah

Your alimony should have ended after 15 years.

Call me for a free consultation.....

Because that wasn't the law at the time you got divorced. The statute limiting alimony to the duration of the marriage didn't go into effect until 2000 and laws of that type do not apply retroactively unless the legislature specifically states so in the law. At this point, if you're wanting to modify your decree to terminate alimony, you have the option of filing a petition to do so based upon a substantial and material change in circumstances. If you would like to discuss this at length and how you might be able to accomplish such a modification, feel free to contact my office for a free initial consultation.
