Modification of Alimony in Ocala, FL
Florida courts can modify or end alimony after a substantial change in circumstances, such as job loss, retirement, a major change in either party’s income, or the recipient’s supportive relationship. Court Source, Inc. prepares the supplemental petition, financial affidavit and related forms to request an alimony modification in Marion County.

What Is an Alimony Modification?
A modification of alimony is a formal request asking the court to change an existing alimony award. Under Florida law, the change in circumstances must generally be substantial, involuntary and permanent, and not expected when the original order was entered. Common reasons include:
- Loss of employment or a significant reduction in income
- Retirement or disability
- A significant increase in the recipient's income, or the recipient's remarriage
- A change in financial needs or the cost of living
How the 2023 Florida Alimony Law Affects Modifications
Florida’s 2023 alimony law ended permanent alimony for judgments entered on or after July 1, 2023. It also allows a paying spouse to seek a modification up to six months before a planned retirement, and it requires the court to reduce or end alimony when a supportive relationship is proven. The rules for older orders can be complex, so we offer free attorney referrals when you need advice.
