New Jersey Modifications of Spousal Support

Seeking a Modification? Call a Freehold and East Brunswick Alimony Attorney!

A significant change in circumstances could lead to the need to modify a court order regarding the amount of spousal support, either to a higher or lower amount. The issues of concern include the needs of the dependent spouse, the ability of that spouse to meet these needs through his or her own efforts and employment income, and the standard of living that was enjoyed during the term of the marriage. Any change in a spousal support amount ordered by the court requires that a significant change in circumstances has taken place, and that this change was involuntary.

These changes may include the following and more:

  • Loss of employment
  • Reduction in pay / increase in pay
  • Promotion
  • Unexpected boost in income
  • Health complications or additional expenses

As the person requesting the modification carries the burden of proving the substantial changes in circumstances, it is extremely important that you have legal representation to assist you in this matter.

You can reach an East Brunswick spousal support lawyer at (866) 760-6430.
