Spousal Maintenance and Alimony are financial payments made to a former spouse after a divorce is finalized, and the amounts are set and enforced by the court in which the divorce proceedings occurred.
As living situations change, so might the required amount for spousal maintenance and alimony. If your former spouse loses his or her job or changes jobs, he or she may start making more or less money, changing the amount that he or she is required to pay. Sometimes, spouses will refuse to pay anything despite a court order, or an ex-spouse may think he or she is entitled to far more than what was ordered. Under any of these circumstances, an investigation into the situation may be necessary. ICS has investigators in its network who are trained and experienced to find all of the information required for a modification by the courts. Call us today for a free consultation.
