My impression is that you may be entitled to receive an adjustment on your pension. You would need to petition the court to adjudicate, not only the portion of the pension that pertains to alimony, but also the housing and education expenses. Moreover, the kid in college may also be entitled to a pension, so long as she is studying towards a degree.
