Modification of Spousal Maintenance
In Arizona spousal maintenance, often referred to as alimony, is modifiable unless otherwise agreed by the parties. That means that unless you agreed during your divorce that you and your former spouse could not modify spousal support or maintenance you may have the legal right to ask the court to change spousal support or maintenance. Either party can go back to court and ask the court to increase, decrease or stop spousal maintenance.
