Alimony / Spousal Support Termination, Reduction or Modification

We can help you obtain the proof you need to eliminate, reduce or modify the amount of alimony you now pay or increase the amount of alimony you now receive. Before you or your attorney petition the court, you must obtain certain evidence and that’s where our expertise and customized services can make the difference between success and failure.

In Florida and many other states, a person can ask the court to eliminate or modify alimony payments when certain circumstances exist.  Our investigations are designed to help you and your attorney determine if evidence exists to support filing a petition for alimony elimination or modification.  In order to eliminate or modify an order for alimony, a judge must find that there has been a substantial change in circumstances since the order was issued.

If you are paying alimony:

You might be able to petition a court to eliminate or reduce the amount of alimony you pay if you can prove that your former spouse is cohabitating and the court determines that a supportive relationship exists or has existed between the alimony recipient and a person with whom he or she resides, excluding relatives.  We are not attorneys and cannot dispense legal advice, but we can definitely help you gather the evidence you need for your attorney to file a petition on your behalf. 

If you are receiving alimony:

You might be able to petition a court to increase the amount of alimony you receive if you can prove that your former spouse hid assets or misrepresented his/her worth or that the circumstances at the time the order for alimony was issued have changed substantially and are of a continuing nature. 

Getting a judge to eliminate or modify an order for alimony is no easy task and these investigations require professional planning and execution, as well as the advice and guidance of competent legal counsel. You must also set aside an appropriate budget because the burden is on the petitioner to demonstrate that the changes are substantial and continuing in nature or in the case of cohabitation, that the former spouse is cohabitating and involved in a “de facto marriage”, not merely spending a night at someone’s house.
