Legal Question in Family Law in South Carolina

Re: termination of alimony

The first issue is whether this is a change since your alimony obligation was established. If so, then the Court will have to determine whether the alimony should be modified or stop. When a person is not working but is otherwise able to do so, the Court can impute income to him/her based on his/her earning capacity.

If this situation was in existence at the time the alimony was established and it is still the same now, then your chances of having it modified or terminated are very slim.

These are complex issues, and it is important that they be handled correctly. Therefore, it is important that you consult an experienced family law attorney to find out what options are available to you based on the facts of your particular case.
