What happens to alimony if I quit my job?
A job loss can sometimes reduce your spousal support obligations depending upon the circumstances. If the recipient spouse is not in agreement that the job loss should reduce spousal support, then you must convince the court that a change is reasonable in light of your current financial circumstances.
What happens if you dont pay spousal support?
Introduction. If spousal support is owed under a court order or an agreement, a failure to pay the support owing is a breach of that order or agreement, and, in the case of orders, it can be contempt of court as well.
Does spousal support end if you live with someone?
In other words, if you are the spouse paying support to your Ex, does that obligation change if he or she remarries or starts seeing someone else? From a practical perspective, your Ex may be called upon justify continued spousal support from you, despite his or her cohabiting with or remarrying someone else.
Can you refuse spousal support?
The right to spousal maintenance does not automatically flow from the Applicant receiving no or minimal income. In circumstances where the Applicant has the potential to earn an income but is choosing not to exercise that potential spousal maintenance may be refused.
