Alimony never increased

Questioner

I asked a question about alimony on this forum and was advised to discuss the amount of alimony he is currently paying with my ex-partner. This has never been increased annually. I need his data to calculate this, but this is very difficult because we have very difficult contact. What is the best way to approach this and who should I contact to raise this issue with him?

Dear, You could request a review of the maintenance by the subdistrict court judge through legal proceedings. If your ex does not want to cooperate, it is possible to request substitute permission from the judge. If the financial strength of your ex has changed, you are entitled to an adjustment of the maintenance. If desired, I can provide you with further assistance in this. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask. Hereby.

Dear, The maintenance stipulated in the order is indexed annually on the basis of article 1:402a BW. You can point this out to your ex-partner and ask him to pay the arrears. If payment is not made, you can contact the LBIO to collect the maintenance arrears. If you believe that the amount of the maintenance stipulated no longer matches the current situation because a (financial) change has occurred, you can consider submitting a request for amendment. Incidentally, this request for amendment is submitted to the family department of the court. If you would like to discuss these options in more detail, you can contact me directly.
