About Spousal Support Modifications from Distinguished Legal Group

Distinguished Legal Group Divorce Lawyer

Since the time a divorce or legal separation was finalized and spousal support or alimony was ordered, changes may have occurred in the financial situation of one person or the other. Promotions, pay cuts, job loss or a new job can change a person’s financial needs and resources. If the changes are considerable, a modification can be requested of the court by the person making payments or by the person receiving spousal support. Just as in petitioning for a visitation or child support modification, the change must be significant for the court to consider a petition. A Distinguished Legal Group divorce lawyer can answer your questions and explain the process involved in obtaining a modification.
