NEBRASKA Part 108

Modification and Termination of Alimony

Either spouse can return to court and request a change to the alimony order if there is a substantial change in circumstances. The supported spouse can ask the court to modify the order if the paying spouse has received a raise or promotion. Similarly, the court may lower the alimony amount if the paying spouse becomes unemployed or if the supported spouse gets a job or other increase in income or resources. However, if the paying spouse voluntarily becomes unemployed or underemployed, then the court can deny modification.

Unless there is a separate agreement between the spouses or by order of the court, alimony automatically ends at the death of either spouse or if the dependent spouse remarries.
