IS IT TOO LATE TO GET COURT-ORDERED SPOUSAL SUPPORT AFTER A DIVORCE IS FINAL?

QUESTION: I was married in California for 17 years then got divorced in 2009. Spousal support was agreed upon outside of court. Is it too late to file for court appointed spousal support? I did not work outside of the home and have no formal education. It is taking me longer than anticipated to establish myself financially and education wise. I'm worried about my future. Our agreement is for 5 years, 1k a month, which ends in 2015. Can i get a court ordered spousal support ?

MY RESPONSE: Possibly, if you didn't waive your right to spousal support in a Stipulated Judgment or MSA. You would best retain the services of an experienced Family Law Attorney.
