"The retroactivity of alimony payments 'is left to the sound discretion of the trial judge.' Walles v. Walles, 295 N.J. Super. 498, 514 (App. Div. 1996). Although N.J.S.A. 2A:17- 56.23a provides that the retroactivity of child support modification is limited to the date the moving party filed the notice of motion, '[t]here is no analogous statutory provision that prohibits retroactive reduction of alimony payments.' Walles, supra, 295 N.J. Super. at 514."

Subject: Notice to modify alimony?
Sorry for any duplication. Here is my question: N.J.S.A 2a:17-56.23a provides that written notification can be sent 45 days prior to a motion seeking modification of child support and the modification is the date of the letter. Is there any such statue, rule or case which provides the same benefit for modification of alimony?
Thank you, friends!
