Alimony Modification
Alimony modification is asking a Florida court to change an existing alimony award after the divorce is final. A spouse generally must show a substantial, material, involuntary, and permanent change in circumstances—such as a significant income loss or a major change in either party's financial situation. Some alimony, like bridge-the-gap, generally cannot be modified, so the type of award matters.
