Is it possible to change a spousal support agreement in California?

Changing a spousal support order in California can happen if there’s a major shift in circumstances. These include:

  • The spouse receiving support no longer needs it
  • The spouse paying support loses their job or is otherwise unable to afford payments
  • The spouse receiving support remarries or enters a new domestic partnership
  • The spouse receiving support is not making a good faith effort to become self-supporting
  • Child support has ended

The process of modifying a spousal support agreement is filled with legal complexities. If you are looking to adjust your spousal support terms, turn to Kendall Gkikas & Mitchell, LLP for expert legal guidance.
