Answer:
Even if the alimony payments are for a limited time, the court may extend the payments if the recipient can prove a significant change of circumstances.
The recipient must typically file a request for a modification of alimony before the existing alimony expires. Once there is a termination of alimony, the court usually cannot
reinstate it.
