My former husband (a practicing attorney) wants to terminate alimony and sent a petition to the court. I have formulated my response but need a little guidance on where to go from there (so far as whether to include a Motion to Deny his petition). I'm now on a fixed income due to retirement and really don't want to use my retirement money for expensive attorney's fees (although I will pay a fair price for consultation/advice). This is a matter of David slaying Goliath. Alimony is now nominal and manageable for my ex, but he is telling the court that he wants to save for his own retirement. He owed me over $100,000 prior to filing for bankruptcy 2 years ago. He expressed to me earlier this year that he "did well" last year.

Are there any Villagers who are retired (or not) who could help guide me?
