How do I modify an existing modifiable spousal maintenance Order?
Unless the parties previously agreed that the spousal maintenance award was nonmodifiable, a parent may attempt to modify and/or terminate an award of spousal maintenance for a variety of reasons. One of the more common reasons spouses seek to modify spousal maintenance occurs when a spouse experiences a substantial and continuing change of income and/or living expenses. A spouse seeking to modify and/or terminate a spousal maintenance order must file a petition for modification and attend a trial at which time evidence is presented in support of the requested modification and/or termination.
