Hi-

My husband is on SSDI for heart problems. He had a quadruple bypass at the age of 38. He has also had a stroke and at least 2 heart attacks. He had a balloon treatment just before we got married in 2005.

I am not sure how often a judge will overturn a ruling based on a Motion for Reconsideration. I have only experienced this once. My ex tried to stop paying alimony when I re-married (it specifically states in our divorce decree he is to pay me XXX/month for 60 months-there is no mention of re-marriage or co-habitation AND the amount per month is pretty small). Anyway, he lost his case, he had to pay all the arrears, continue to pay all the payments AND pay my legal fees. My lawyer called it a "slam dunk". He was not happy. So he put in a Motion for Reconsideration stating the judge "misunderstood" the situation. I imagine the judge was pretty pissed by this. His motion was emphatically denied.
