CAN I GET A REDUCTION IN SPOUSAL SUPPORT IF MY INCOME DECREASES?

QUESTION: If my income from employement has drastically reduced can I get a reduction in my spousal support payments?

MY RESPONSE:

Depending on what your income was at the time of the order requiring you to pay Spousal Support, you may qualify for a reduction of Spousal Support, but you would have to file an Order to Show Cause [OSC] for modification of Spousal Support, along with an Income and Expense Declaration, and any modification would not be retroactive to a date prior to the date of filing of your OSC, so do not delay filing and serving your OSC.
