Modification of Alimony Orders
Are spousal support payments becoming too much for you to handle? You may be able to have these orders legally modified with the help of an attorney! You may have gone through the process of divorce some time ago. Circumstances change as time goes on, which means that the divorce agreement that worked for you initially may not be working for you now. Legally, there is something you can do about this. It is called an alimony or spousal support modification and it is a court-ordered change to how much will have to be paid and how much will be received by a spouse each month. One of the main reasons that people request a modification is because their financial circumstances have changed. For example, the spouse that pays the alimony may have lost their job or seen a significant decrease in salary. The process of modification will differ slightly from state to state, so it is best to consult with an attorney in your surrounding area about this process. Either individual can petition for a chance in alimony payments. For example, even an individual who is receiving spousal support can petition to have this amount increased for many of the same reasons why the other individual may want the payment to decrease. Many times, former spouses will not agree when it comes to a modification of alimony. The main deciding principle when it comes to modification of court orders such as this is a noted and provable change in circumstances. Both parties will have their needs evaluated by the court. This means that a decision will not be made that would knowingly make an individual unable to support themselves. Some divorce situations include what is known as a cost of living adjustment clause. This is a specific provision that will detail how much alimony should increase or decrease based upon the cost of living. Many times, an individual’s change in circumstances will compel them to want to change more than just a spousal support order. A significant change in income, for example, may necessitate a petition for modification of child support payments as well. Another major factor affecting alimony is remarriage. If the individual receiving the child support payments gets remarried, then that individual will then forego their right to continue receiving alimony from their former spouse. Circumstances differ from case to case. For a complete and thorough evaluation of your case and to see if you qualify for a change in alimony, get in touch with your local divorce attorney as soon as is possible.
