Below, we discuss the basic steps to changing your California alimony order.

The Steps to Changing Spousal Support Payments

If you would like to make a change to your spousal support payments, you will first need to show that there was some change in your situation that necessitates this modification. Many situations could lead to this change, particularly if the situation has made it so you can no longer make the payments or no longer need to receive them.

The basic steps to making changes to an alimony order in California are as follows:

  • Complete all the forms that relate to your case.
  • Have your lawyer go over all of your forms to ensure that everything was completed correctly.
  • File all of your forms with the court clerk.
  • Receive a court date.
  • Serve the papers on your former spouse or domestic partner.
  • Attend the court hearing where you will discuss your alimony case.

Finally, the judge will decide whether to modify your spousal support agreement.

Those are the steps to making a change to an alimony order in court. It’s always helpful to have a lawyer help you make the best possible case in court, though.
