Understanding Your Options for Alimony Termination in Oklahoma
Hello, I am Dillan Savage of Wirth Law Office – Oklahoma City. Today we will be discussing the termination of alimony. In previous videos, I have talked about a few different methods to terminate alimony, including the death of the recipient, their remarriage, or their cohabitation with a member of the opposite sex.
Now, you may wonder what happens if you don’t meet any of those qualifications. Thankfully, Oklahoma law has taken that into account. If circumstances have changed to the point that alimony payments are inequitable or unfair to either party, you may still have options.
Modifying Alimony Payments in Oklahoma
According to the divorce decree and the alimony-ordered payments, you can motion the court to modify or terminate alimony payments. This provision is outlined in Title 43, Section 134, Subsection D. Essentially, it acts as a catch-all situation for those who do not meet the other three stated requirements.
If there is a change in circumstance that creates an inequitable situation, you can simply file a motion with proof of that change. The court will then review the evidence and determine whether a modification or termination is warranted.
