Spousal Support Modification
In the wake of divorce, you face many expenses. Ending your marriage may be the absolute right choice, but it rarely comes easy or cheap. One of the highest continuing costs many men encounter is spousal support.
Spousal support (also called spousal maintenance or alimony) is designed to provide the lower-income spouse with money for living expenses regardless of gender.
Can You Get a Modification?
Who can request a spousal support modification?
The payee can seek an adjustment if the payer’s income has risen substantially.
The payer may be able to seek to reduce or terminate spousal support if the payee has remarried or achieved financial independence.
Like many court orders, once in place, these payments become difficult to alter. But a new law just took effect in Oregon that may have a huge impact on spousal support modifications.
