Spousal Support (Alimony) Modification
Many people wonder whether they can modify or terminate spousal support. When a party seeks to modify support, the court usually consider the needs of each party and determines whether there has been a substantial change in the circumstances which warranted the original support award.
I will review any proposed alimony modification for fairness and help you determine how to protect your interests. I can guide you through the alimony modification process. I will talk with you openly and honestly, answering your questions at each step of the way.
How to Modify Spousal Support Payments
Clients often ask whether the parties can agree to modify support temporarily or permanently without wasting money on lawyers to submit the judgment. Modification judgments must be filed with the court that originally signed the existing order. Either spouse can file for modification but there are time constraints.
Terminating a spousal support order may sometimes be more difficult than modifying one. Consulting an experienced attorney will help you evaluate your options.
