Can a PSS or Alimony Order be Modified?
An order entered by the court for PSS or alimony may be modified or vacated at any time, upon application made to the court by either party and a showing of changed circumstances.
A change in circumstances that may warrant modification of an order for PSS or alimony may include a dependent spouse’s cohabitation or remarriage, or a reduction in income on the part of either party.
Additionally, courts may consider a modification of alimony if the alimony claim was determined prior to entry of an equitable distribution judgment.
