It is common to see a final divorce order that specifies how much alimony is to be paid. It may not specify how long it is to be paid. In this case, either spouse can come back at any time and ask that the alimony be modified - either up or down. A wife may need more or continued alimony and the husband may wish to have it lowered or stopped completely.
Non-modifiable alimony means just that. The divorce decree will state how much and how long and nobody may change it later. This may create a hardship on either party in the case of a disability. It also means that the alimony has to continue even if the receiving spouse gets married before the end of the agreed upon term.
