Spousal Support
If you need to change court-ordered spousal support/alimony, you must file a request for modification with the court. Reasons the court may modify spousal support include:
- Financial or other hardships suffered by either party
- To help one party transition to being self-sufficient
- To make it possible for the custodial parent to care for children while working
- To remedy unfair tax consequences of the divorce
- Compensation for supporting the other party's education or training during the marriage
We can help you compile the financial documents you will need to prove your need for the modification. Additionally, we can help you gather information to refute the request for modification.
Child Support
Children are emancipated from the child support system when they are age 18 and no longer a full-time high school student, or when they turn 19, whichever is first. Parents may support a child for a longer period if they choose. You may file a motion to modify child support payments if you believe you are paying too much or receiving too little. Reasons can include changes in financial circumstances, the health of a parent or child, or a change in the child's needs.
