The point of alimony is that the financially dominant spouse has to support the other until they can support themselves...if you have been going for 5 years without it, it will probably be hard to convince a court you deserve it.

Can you file bankruptcy against a divorce order in North Carolina?
Whether you can eliminate a debt that resulted from a divorce decree will depend on the type of debt. If you owe child support or alimony from a divorce then you will not be able to eliminate the debt in bankruptcy. If the divorce assigned some debt to you as part of the divorce and it was not assigned as child support or alimony then you may be able to eliminate the debt in a Chapter 13 bankruptcy. Chapter 13 bankruptcy allows you to eliminate debt assigned to you that is in the nature of a property settlement and not child support or alimony.
