NEW JERSEY Part 25

Alimony Modification and Termination

A judge may modify limited duration alimony and rehabilitative alimony orders if there is a change in circumstances. If the court made an order based on an event that it assumed would occur, but the event did not occur, then it may modify the order—for example, if the supported spouse was not able to be rehabilitated within the expected time, or was not able to find a job to become self-supporting, the court can change the initial order.
