What situations have awarded former spouses post-divorce modifications in the past?
There are a wide variety of scenarios that have awarded former spouses post-divorce modifications in the past. You can modify various terms of your divorce as well, including child support, child custody, alimony, and more. For example, if you pay child support or alimony and your former spouse either got a higher-paying job or otherwise came into a significant amount of money, there is a very good chance that you may ask for a decrease in child support or alimony payments. Additionally, if your former spouse either remarried or is cohabiting with another romantic partner, this may also warrant a reduction in alimony payments. That being said, if you are the receiving spouse of alimony or child support and you develop a serious medical condition, it may warrant an increase in alimony payments.

For example, if one parent is looking to move away with their child, they may require a modification to their custody agreement.
