About this service
Alimony modification is the legal procedure by which an amount established by court or fixed by agreement changes according to what has happened in the parties' lives since the amount was set. The Civil Code of Georgia regulates this sphere along two distinct axes: alteration of the amount in parent-child alimony relationships on account of a change in material or family circumstances, and release of a spouse from the maintenance obligation, or its modification, on special grounds. This page explains what circumstances create a ground for modification, who may bring the claim and how the court assesses these circumstances.
