Yes, spousal support can be modified if there is a significant change in circumstances for either party. Common reasons for modification include job loss, substantial income changes, the supported spouse cohabitating with a new partner, retirement, or changes in health status. Either spouse can petition the court for modification, but you’ll need to demonstrate that circumstances have materially changed since the original order. Many clients also turn to alimony attorneys when facing these types of changes. An experienced spousal maintenance lawyer can help you file for modification or defend against modification requests.
