For him to get a downward modification, he needs to prove that a "substantial change" in circumstances has occurred to justify the change. This is a fairly high burden of proof. The "substantial change" is not supposed to be voluntary.
What does he claim in his filing with the Court, as the "substantial change in circumstances" that warrants the modification?
How long ago were you awarded permanent alimony?
If you opt to proceed without the assistance of counsel, be aware that you will not be entitled to a �do over� if things go badly.
The above information is provided without any consideration/payment having been received, and without full knowledge of all of the facts.
An internet inquiry is no substitution for an in-office consultation with an attorney.
If your situation falls within the Greater Tampa Bay area, I would be happy to schedule you for a no obligation half hour office consultation. The main office is in Dunedin, with a satellite location in Tampa.
