Can Alimony be Terminated or Modified?
Alimony or spousal support may also be terminated or modified in certain circumstances. To do so, one of the ex-spouses (or both) must make a motion to the court and specify the reason(s) for the modification/termination. The reasons may differ; however, the most common reason is a negative change in circumstances that makes the paying spouse unable to pay alimony.
