Question

Hi! I married in 2004 and divorced in 2013. I was separated since Dec. of 2011. My X husband and I started dating again since March of 2014. We are planning on remarrying very soon. Is it possible to continue adding the new years of the new marriage to the 7 years and 11 months from my first marriage? Is that even possible? He'd like for me to sign something stating I won't want to add on to the years of marriage from the first time because he doesn't want to pay me alimony for the rest of my life if things don't work out for the second time. :o(. Is there a possibility if we both agree to add on more years?



Answer

Simple answer is no. The law does not allow you to tack prior years married after a dissolution to reach the 10 year and 1 day mark. When you remarry the clock starts anew.

Regarding what he is asking you to sign, although completely unnecessary, is likely a prenuptial agreement.
