Maryland QDRO

Can a QDRO be used for Alimony Arrears in Maryland. Also, if the original term of Alimony had ended (but never received Alimony payments, hence why a QDRO is being done), can you file for extension/modification of Alimony even if it is after the original awarded alimony term ends, but there are still arrears?

Can a QDRO be used for Alimony Arrears in Maryland.If your question is whether a QDRO can be used to COLLECT alimony arrears, the answer is YES if you have a judgment for the arrears. Also, if the original term of Alimony had ended (but never received Alimony payments, hence why a QDRO is being done), can you file for extension/modification of Alimony even if it is after the original awarded alimony term ends, but there are still arrears?  NO, not unless the alimony is modifiable. If the alimony was not paid you can sue and get a judgment and collect it via a QDRO or by way of an attachment of the payor's assets or by a garnishment of the payor's income.   The first step is to get a judgment for the arrears with pre-judgment and post-judgment interest of 10% per annum - a very fine investment return.

If the Alimony is modifiable because it was court ordered, is it possible to file an extension if you never received the original term of Alimony?
