Variation of Maintenance Agreements

Call our free legal helpline on freephone 0333 888 0404 for initial guidance on the variation of maintenance agreements, or send an email to us at [email protected]

Variation of maintenance

After divorce proceedings are finished and a maintenance Order has been made by the courts, if your circumstances were to change in the future then that maintenance Order can be changed if one or both parties need it to be. This can be done by agreement, but if that proves difficult then you’ll need to apply to court.

The process for formal applications to change a maintenance order are similar to that of an initial divorce settlement.

Your first step – Specialist advice from our divorce solicitors

Nobody wants to be incurring legal fees unnecessarily, so from the offset you’ll want specialist advice that can help you determine whether a variation application is likely to succeed.

Our experienced team includes specialists in financial issues relating to maintenance agreements, so you can be sure that you’ll be getting the best advice on your finances every step of the way.  If you make an application to vary a maintenance Order and lose then you could be ordered to pay some or all of your ex’s costs, so it is crucial that you consult a solicitor with experience in this field.

Solicitor Paul Jordan has successfully varied many maintenance Orders. If you would like to discuss your current circumstances with him then call our free family law helpline on 0333 888 0404 or email him at [email protected]
