Manhattan Beach Decreasing Alimony Lawyers

After a couple files for divorce and legally end their marriage, one spouse may have to continue to support the other spouse by paying alimony or spousal support payments for an extended amount of time. In the event of a significant change in one’s financial situation, it may be appropriate to seek a decrease in the amount of alimony paid.
