If you are divorced and either making alimony payments or receiving alimony payments, Florida law is guided by a statute that determines whether or not the circumstances or the financial ability of either or both parties has changed since the decree was entered. If a court decides that there has been a substantial change in circumstances or the financial ability of one or both former spouses, the court has the power to increase the alimony obligation of the paying spouse, decrease the alimony payments due to the receiving spouse, or terminate the alimony obligation altogether.
Alimony arrangements in divorce may need adjustments due to changing circumstances. Life is dynamic, and financial situations can evolve post-divorce. The Affordable Divorce Center (ADC) recognizes the need for modifications to alimony agreements and offers a comprehensive service for modifying them. Whether you’re seeking adjustments or responding to a modification request, our experienced attorneys have advocated for many South Florida residents in the same situation by placing their financial well-being at the forefront.
Some common “change in circumstances” that might affect a party’s ability to pay alimony are:
- A decrease in pay
- Retirement
- Illness
- Incarceration
- A ex-spouse’s remarriage or cohabitation
