Modification of Alimony Order

A Modification of Alimony Order is filed by a party seeking to change the terms of an existing alimony order due to a significant change in circumstances, such as a substantial increase or decrease in income. The party requesting the modification must demonstrate that the change in circumstances is significant, ongoing, and was not anticipated at the time the original alimony order was issued. The court considers the relevant factors, such as each party’s current income, earning capacity, and needs, to determine if a modification is warranted. If the court finds that a modification is appropriate, it may increase, decrease, or terminate the alimony award based on the new circumstances. The modified alimony order supersedes the original order and remains in effect until further modified or terminated by the court.
