Boyd Collar Nolen Tuggle & Roddenbery understands that a person’s financial wherewithal may substantially change over time. Our attorneys are well-versed in recognizing the appropriate circumstances under which to request a modification to the alimony agreement.
In Georgia, alimony modification is allowed in two instances. The first is when either spouse experiences a significant change in their financial position. Typically, this is when the recipient of support receives an increase in income, but it can also apply if the supporter faces a long-term financial crisis.
The second instance is when the recipient is cohabitating and sexually involved with another person. The “live-in lover” law often results in a reduction of payments to the recipient. The burden of proof lies with the petitioning party.
