Modification of Spousal Support in Florida
How an Alimony Attorney Can Help
In today's chaotic economic climate, sudden unemployment or a change in jobs can cause a substantial change in one spouse's financial status. There are a number of circumstances recognized by Florida's courts that permit a decrease, increase or even the termination of alimony payments. If a spouse who has been ordered to pay spousal support / alimony following a Florida divorce finds that his or her financial circumstances have changed, he or she may wish to seek a modification of the divorce judgment.
Even if a couple agrees that a change is in order, the court will not recognize it unless a supplemental petition is filed and ruled upon.
If you have questions about your spousal support payments or feel there is a legitimate reason to seek a modification you should first speak to a lawyer at the Law Offices of Jason K.S. Porter, P.A. Unexpected medical emergencies, bankruptcy, or even the existence of a new and "supportive relationship" of the one receiving alimony can be grounds for a modification. When you call our office and arrange for an initial consultation, you will meet with a lawyer who can answer your questions and review your case. We can then advise you on your legal options and take the necessary steps with you.

Amend Your Spousal Support Pick Porter!™
If you are paying support and your ex-spouse is currently cohabitating with someone who is supporting him or her, you may be able to reduce or end your support payments. There are certain facts that must be proven to the court to substantiate such a claim. If you reach retirement and you income drops dramatically, you may be able to reduce or end your payments, as well.
If your ex-spouse experiences a significant increase in his or her income it is possible to seek an increase in alimony based on his or her new financial status. There are other situations that may require a temporary change in support, such as a lengthy hospital stay or a prison sentence, but merely losing a job is usually not considered a sufficient reason for a modification

I met Jason 13 years ago in a case I had. He wasn't my first choice of lawyer originally. Our original lawyer was unable to perform the task needed at the time. Jason took our case over and worked his magic in the courtroom. People, the is no substitute for a court case. This firm is head and shoulders above anyone. If you want to go generic with your cereal that's fine. You can buy Fruit Rings instead of Froot Loops. But when choosing an attorney and your life is on the line, go with this firm. You get what you pay for. And by Picking Porter, you get so much more. Since then my entire family has used this firm for random cases. All of which we have prevailed. Most recently, Chris Craun family law attorney has helped us win yet another case. His outstanding outlook and attention to the details and knowledge of the law was the difference. Chris comes from this same tree. They know people and the law. Do not mess up by acquiring sub-par representation. You should pick Porter before your counterpart does!!!- Ken O.

DIVORCE is one of the toughest things that you will ever experience in your life, especially when you have 4 young children involved. As a father fighting for 50% custody of my children this wasn't gonna be an easy task. Nicole Carlucci is an absolutely amazing attorney. Not only did she help me get 50% custody of my children, she absolutely destroyed the opposing attorney. They wanted 800$ a month child support, (I ended up paying 250$ a month) on 4 children. I would highly recommend Nicole Carlucci for any legal needs. Nicole Carlucci is always prepared & very professional.- Paul R.
