Changing or Terminating Payments
As soon as a maintenance order is in place, it may be
changed for as long as payments are due unless there is a divorce agreement
that says otherwise. Generally, changes to the amount of maintenance payments
only can be made going forward. For example, if the paying spouse gets a
substantial promotion after making payments for one year, the recipient spouse
can’t ask the court to increase the amount on payments that have already been
made. Instead, the recipient spouse could ask the court to increase future
payments based on this new salary, but must show that this increase is a
substantial change of circumstances.
