Can alimony be adjusted if all income was not disclosed in divorce court?
Recently divorced paying alimony based on an equal split ather SS and my disability benefits. She’s also getting a benefit as a divorcee of a disabled person, a benefit above and beyond what we split. Neither her attorney or she disclosed this benefit payment to the divorce court and as a result the judge did not consider this amount in determination of the payment. The divorce occurred over a year ago. What can I do to have the alimony reduced to a fair/equal split?

You can go back to the family court to file a motion to have the alimony adjusted. Whether the judge would adjust it for you is another issue though.
