Once a final order is made in respect to the amount of spousal support that should be paid, the parties must show a change in circumstances in order to modify spousal support. A voluntary increase in debt is not a basis to modify spousal support. Neither party can incur debt and use that as a basis to increase the need for spousal support or decrease his or her ability to pay spousal support. However, unanticipated changes in employment may render a support order modifiable.
