Trying to make sense of posting- unable to work person has a alimony order he can’t meet? Most courts will consider a reduction or dropping of alimony for disability reasons, but the disabled person has to motion for the change in alimony order. If Ex is willing to forgo payments because of others disability she can make statement to court that dropping payments will not be a hardship to her or child and that will help court to suspend or drop alimony payments- maybe reviewed for disability status change next year.
If they are supposed to be paying permanent alimony and are not, then, yes, they certainly can be put into jail for not obeying the order.
