Modifying or Terminating Alimony in California
Our guides show you how alimony is modified or terminated
It is rare a modification or termination of alimony proceeding results in a quick and easy resolution. Unless the alimony is terminated due to death, remarriage, or a self-executing termination clause in the judgment, alimony modification or termination proceedings often result in litigation or contested hearings. That is because the alimony obligor is tired of paying what he or she pays, and the alimony obligee does not want any change unless alimony is going up.
But what are the grounds for a modification? And what are the grounds for a termination? Do you know the difference between terminating alimony and terminating the court's power to ever award it?
