She won't do it yet because they are under the ten year mark. He needs to do this before the tenth wedding anniversary. She would be entitled to more after that.
That was my first thought too. Although some quick research for NY suggests that there doesn't seem to be a magic step at 10 years, instead the length of alimony increases up to about 50% of the length for a long marriage of over 20 years.
Hopefully he didn't spend 3 months salary on the ring.
P.S. Cass1670 has been around since 2020 and still has a handshake. That's not right!
