Can alimony be offset to cover a debt?

In general, alimony is intended to provide financial support to a spouse after a divorce and is not typically used to offset debts directly. However, if both parties agree, or if mandated by a court, alimony payments could potentially be adjusted to account for specific debts. Legal advice is recommended to navigate these situations, as laws vary by jurisdiction. Ultimately, the specifics of the divorce settlement and local laws will dictate how debts and alimony may interact.

Can you file for alimony while divorce is going on?

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.
