Alimony Modification

Alimony is used in order to help one spouse support another after a divorce. However, changing life circumstances may result in the need to modify your alimony payments. Some changes that are grounds for modification include:

• Changing or losing a job.
• Remarriage.
• Significant illness or death.
• Retirement.

Which spouse these changes happen to is irrelevant, so long as the change is substantial enough to warrant modification. If you believe that alimony should be modified, then you must first file a Supplemental Petition of Modification of Alimony. This petition includes several important pieces of information, including how much current alimony payments are, the names of both spouses, and what change prompted the request for modification. Afterward, you must give the petition to the other spouse. They have 20 days to respond; if they respond with a counterpoint to the request, then a trial will be held to determine if alimony should be modified.
