Manhattan Beach Increasing Alimony Attorneys
It is a common misconception that when a couple files for divorce, they are ending all obligations to one another. In many cases this is not true. When a couple is married, they are legally responsible for supporting one another financially and this obligation can continue even after the couple divorces with alimony payments, or spousal support. Orders for spousal support are based on conditions at the time of the order, but circumstances change, and it may become necessary to seek increased alimony payments.
If you are in need of a modification to your existing alimony agreement, it is important that you seek the assistance of a skilled and experienced attorney.
