Can my ex-wife collect back-alimony when she did nothing about my non-payment for years?
Usually your ex-wife can collect the back alimony even if she’s done nothing for a few years. If it’s been a significant amount of time that’s passed, there are circumstances where a court would not make you pay back all of the alimony, so you should discuss your particular circumstances with your attorney.
