It depends on the circumstances but generally speaking, alimony cannot be added after the divorce is finalized, even where spousal support was not discussed at all in the settlement. This is because the divorce decree is considered final, not only as to the issues actually addressed, but for all issues that could have been addressed in court. Courts generally lose the power to award alimony once they have determined that they will not award any.

This is because an annulment declares the marriage to be "void" and erases it as if it never existed under the law. Spousal support cannot be awarded if no valid marriage existed. If you believe you will need spousal support, you may prefer to file for divorce or legal separation as alimony may be awarded in both of these cases.
