Alimony Modification

Deciding on spousal support, or alimony, is often one of the most contentious aspects of any divorce. Alimony is a payment made by an individual to his or her ex-spouse in order to help him or her maintain a standard of living that is similar to what he or she enjoyed in the marriage. However, it is important for all individuals to understand that the amount of alimony payments decided upon in a divorce hearing can be changed in some circumstances.

Modifying Your Alimony Payments

Alimony payments can be either increased or decreased, and in most states, an individual must prove a significant change in his or her situation to be granted an alimony modification.  Alimony can be modified if either party has been injured or disabled and is unable to work, fired or let go from their job, has to pay expensive medical bills, has an unexpected rise in their cost of living, or suddenly comes into more money.  The San Diego alimony attorneys at Fischer & Van Thiel, LLP, can assist you in determining alimony modifications.
