Does she have the right to file a motion or petition with the court, seeking more? Unfortunately, yes--it is amost impossible to stop someone from bringing a legal claim or action, even a weak or bad one, and forcing you to respond to it. However, based on what you write, her claim is a weak or bad one: if your income has not changed, there is no legal basis or her to get more alimony, so it is unlikely that she will succeed.
