You asked:  Do I need an updated order reduced to judgment or does the original judgment stand and still apply?Additional Details:I was granted a judgment in 2005 as part of a divorce. It was to enforce my prenup. The prenup stated 1/7 up front and quarterly payments thereafter until 2014. Since no monies were paid by the debtor and several years have now passed, what do I need to have updated in order to show the current amount owed to me? Monmouth County Court house said a motion. Trenton said two diferent answeres: Amend the order, or get a new order reduced to judgement. Thank you in advance for your help. I am a Michigan attorney, and strongly recommend that you seek the advice of a local attorney.  I may be able to give you some guidance, however.  I think you asking what to do if your ex failed to pay for several years, and you want to collect the arrearage.  It is not clear if your ex owes you alimony or some other form of payment.  In Michigan, I would file a Motion for an Order to Show Cause why he should not be held in contempt of court for failure to pay.  Additionally, I would seek an income withholding order for all future payments.  Finally, I would consider having the amount he owes you in the future reduce to a present value and have the arrearage and the present value of future payment reduced to a judgment that could be collected as any other judgment, such as garnishment or seizure of property.

The duration of your marriage is only one factor the court would consider in determining whether you are eligible to receive spousal maintenance. There are other statutory factors contained in Arizona Revised Statutes, section 25-319. I recommend you speak with an attorney for some guidance about how this statute may apply to your situation.

There is nothing illegal about it.  There was no agreement without signatures.  She can certainly seek other advise, even from an attorney, and there is nothing unethical about it.
