My question involves a marriage in the state of:NJ
I recently petitioned the court to terminate my alimony obligations to my ex-spouse. I am now disabled due to severe COPD.
I was married for 17 years and divorced and paying alimony for 16 1/2 years to my ex, in the amount of $250 per week. I am no longer able to work due to my COPD and started collecting LTD. My pay is now 1/3 of what is was when I was employed full time.
I received an order from the judge stating I have to attend a plenary hearing to discuss my case. When I filed the original motion to terminate my alimony obligations, I included my CIS as well as letters/medical records from my pulmonologist, and copies of all of my medical bills. I also have custody of my daughter.
I cannot afford an attorney, as I cannot even afford to pay the bills that are stacking up due to my reduced pay.
My question is what can I expect to happen at this hearing and do I need to bring any additional documentation with me?
