Spousal Support Modification

Spousal support modification is a legal process that allows a court to change the amount or duration of spousal support that is being paid. This can be done if there has been a significant change in the circumstances of either spouse since the original spousal support order was entered.

Some of the most common reasons for modifying spousal support include:

  • A change in the income of either spouse
  • A change in the needs of either spouse
  • A change in the health of either spouse
  • The death of either spouse
  • The remarriage of either spouse
  • The cohabitation of either spouse with another person

 

To modify spousal support, you must file a request with the court that issued the original spousal support order. The request must state the facts of the case and why you are requesting a modification. The court will then hold a hearing to decide whether to grant your request.

If the court grants your request, it will issue a new spousal support order that reflects the changed circumstances.

It is important to note that spousal support modification is a complex legal process. If you are considering modifying spousal support, you should speak with an attorney to discuss your options.
