Boston, MA family law attorney Terri Partridge talks about modifying spousal support after a MA divorce. She notes that spousal support can undergo modification after a divorce is finalized, contingent upon a substantial and material change in circumstances. Illustrations of such alterations encompass a notable rise in the recipient spouse’s expenses due to factors beyond their control, such as health issues resulting in extraordinary expenses, or a reduction in their income due to a disability. Moreover, if the income of the payer spouse increases, there exists the potential for an increase in alimony. The resulting decision is often influenced by factors like the duration of the marriage and the lifestyle the spouses shared during that period.
