Spousal Support Modifications
Call the Law Office of Dennis R. Vetrano, Jr., LLC – (845) 605-4330
When you go through a divorce in New York, even if you and your ex-spouse both do not think that spousal support is necessary, the court will probably bring it up and encourage it to some extent. At that time, it probably seemed fair and balanced, or else your divorce might still be contested to this day. But as you surely learned just from going through a divorce, nothing in life is completely predictable and even the best laid plans can require reworking.
If you have come to realize that your spousal support agreement is no longer working for you for one reason or another, you should contact a lawyer from the Law Office of Dennis R. Vetrano, Jr., LLC. For years our firm has been focused on family law and divorce cases in New York, allowing us to develop numerous legal strategies to best handle your spousal support modification without forgetting your best interests or disrespecting the relationship you have rebuilt with your ex.
Reasons Why Your Spousal Support Should Be Modified
The divorce courts of New York State like precision and clear reasoning behind every ruling and decision. When you decide that it is time for your spousal support agreement to be modified, you must make a sensible, persuasive argument as to why. There must also be a solid, legal precedent at the groundwork of your argument.
Reasons you can request spousal support modifications include:
- Unexpected job loss
- Sudden illness or injury
- Remarried
- Necessary relocation
You can ask for a modification to spousal support payments from either side of the divorce agreement. If your spouse remarries, you can request that you no longer pay them any spousal support. If you lose your job, you can request an increase in the amount you receive each month. The possibilities will be varied depending on your original marriage, divorce, and personal lives.
Let Us Make Your Life Simple Again – Call (845) 605-4330
When your spousal support agreement is not properly drafted or has not been updated to meet the current needs of your life and lifestyle, even the simplest matters can feel like a hassle. Rather than worry about your finances – whether you are not receiving enough or giving too much away – each and every month, let our attorneys reevaluate your agreement, review your current financial situation, and determine a new spousal support amount that works for both you and your ex. Not sure if you are ready to start just yet? We never want to push you towards a decision you are not comfortable with.

I am extremely thankful for having received the best representation from my attorney Kristen D. Farris for a temporary order of protection case against my soon to be ex-husband. Everything went so smooth with her amazing expertise and professionalism. In the court, she took charge right away and everything was just so well. I was so relieved! The outcome of the case was perfect and the case settled without any issues. I had no chance to stress! Finally, the office staff was so friendly and the communication, which was mostly through e-mail, was perfect. I am looking forward to working with Kristen with the next steps of getting a divorce.

"I am happy to recommend DRV Law and Kristen F. specifically. As a father divorcing an intractable and vengeful spouse, I was terrified of how the court would treat a father vs a mother, as well as of how my ex could muddy and delay the process."I am happy to recommend DRV Law and Kristen F. specifically. As a father divorcing an intractable and vengeful spouse, I was terrified of how the court would treat a father vs a mother, as well as of how my ex could muddy and delay the process. And all in the midst of a pandemic that made everything more complicated. Kristen and her team’s legal advice was consistently spot on, the office’s communication was regular and helpful, and their billing was fair and understandable. You won’t be disappointed in them!- A.B.
