Alimony Modification: When She Upgrades Her Lifestyle
You’re paying your ex-wife alimony, and she just put in a new swimming pool—what should you do? Hi, I’m Tulsa Dads.Law attorney Clint Hastings. I practice here in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and I focus on fathers’ rights. I’ve been practicing family law for about 25 years, and I get variations of this question all the time. When your ex-wife suddenly has disposable income that seems to negate the need for alimony, it’s important to investigate the source of her newfound wealth. Filing for a modification allows you to gather information about her financial situation through the legal process of discovery.
Evaluating the Financial Impact
Once you have a clearer picture of your ex-wife’s financial status, you can evaluate whether her increased income should impact your alimony obligation. Factors such as the source and amount of the windfall will be considered by the court in determining fairness in adjusting or terminating alimony payments.
Presenting Your Case Effectively
Successfully reducing or terminating alimony based on your ex-wife’s improved financial circumstances requires a strategic approach. An experienced attorney knowledgeable in family law can help you make a compelling argument to the court. Your attorney will present evidence and legal precedents to support your case for a modification of alimony.
