At the time of our divorce, the court did not order spousal maintenance. Now, I want to go back and modify that decision to get spousal maintenance. Is that possible?

No. Once the court awards no spousal maintenance, the court loses jurisdiction to order a future modification. In other words, once spousal maintenance is ordered to be zero, it says zero.
