S8 Ep98: What If the Alimony Payer Loses Their Job?

#ChooseGoldman If your ex-spouse loses their job, their alimony obligation does not automatically stop. A formal court process must be initiated to modify the existing alimony order based on the change in circumstances. • Alimony continues until a further order of the court; a job loss does not grant permission to stop paying. • To modify payments, the payer must demonstrate a significant financial change to the court, such as a substantial salary reduction or termination of employment. • The court does not automatically reduce alimony; the person paying must file a motion to request a hearing. • Any changes granted by the court are typically only retroactive to the date the motion was filed, not the date of the job loss. • It is the responsibility of the person paying alimony to go to court and request a reduction as soon as possible to avoid accumulating debt. 📞 (248) 590-6600 Call/Text 📅 For a Complimentary Phone Case Evaluation: https://app.acuityscheduling.com/schedule.php?owner=17105687&appointmentType=18529428 Click here to watch the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MXr9yVYu_As For more information: https://akivagoldman.com/michigan-family-law-attorney ⬇️ Download Divorce & Custody Survival Guide.
