Frequently Asked Questions
We know family law can feel overwhelming—and sometimes, just getting clear answers makes all the difference. Below you’ll find thoughtful responses to the questions we hear most often, designed to help you feel informed, prepared, and empowered as you move forward.
Can I request a spousal support modification before the holidays in NC?
Yes, you can — but timing matters. In North Carolina, spousal support (alimony) can be modified if there’s been a “substantial change in circumstances.” That might include job loss, increased medical expenses, or a change in income.
If you’re struggling financially as the holidays approach, don’t wait. It takes time for courts to schedule hearings, so the sooner you act, the sooner relief may come. Your attorney can file a motion to modify alimony and present financial documentation to support your request.
