When Should You File a Motion to Terminate Spousal Support
Many people don’t realize that after certain life changes, the payer of spousal support has the right to file a motion in court to terminate payments. The most common grounds include the recipient’s remarriage, cohabitation with a new partner, achieving financial independence, or a significant decrease in the payer’s income.
Procedure for Filing a Motion to Terminate Spousal Support
Filing a motion to terminate spousal support is a legally complex process requiring proof of changed circumstances. To increase your chances of success, it’s important to work with an experienced attorney who will:
- assess your situation and the grounds for termination;
- prepare a package of evidence, such as income statements and documents proving the recipient’s remarriage or cohabitation;
- correctly draft the motion and other court documents;
- represent your interests during hearings.
Common Grounds for Terminating Spousal Support
The court may grant a motion based on the following reasons:
- the recipient of alimony has remarried;
- the recipient is cohabiting in a marriage-like relationship;
- the recipient has achieved financial independence;
- a significant reduction in the payer’s income;
- an agreement between the parties to voluntarily end support.
Legal Assistance in Filing for Termination of Spousal Support
What you get when you work with us:
- a clear action plan;
- thorough preparation of evidence;
- representation in court at every stage of the process.
Please note: the court does not automatically terminate alimony even after the recipient remarries or cohabits — a separate motion and court order are required!
What to Consider Before Filing
- One valid reason is enough to file a motion.
- The court will not terminate alimony without a formal motion.
- Incorrect or incomplete documentation often leads to denial.
How the Process of Filing a Motion to Terminate Spousal Support Works
- Initial consultation and analysis of circumstances.
- Preparation of evidence and documents.
- Drafting and filing the motion with the court.
- Participation in court hearings.
- Receiving a court decision to terminate spousal support.
