In some cases, your spousal support could be terminated or modified. Generally speaking, there are three main ways this can happen:
- If you remarry.
- If you are in a relationship that resembles a marriage for 12 months or more, such as a serious, committed relationship.
- If you or your former spouse passes away.
There are also times when you can petition for a complete termination of spousal support outside of these events. This is usually after an appropriate period has passed since the initial ruling or as outlined in your agreement.
Each case is different depending on your circumstances, and it’s best to consult an experienced attorney who can guide you through the process
