Ask a Lawyer: STOP/ MODIFY ALIMONY PDF Print E-mail

Question:

Are there papers that I can file myself to stop/modify alimony payments in South Carolina? My ex had no skills when we divorces in 1989. She has made more than money for years. I do not have the money for an expensive lawyer. I have not worked in 3 years due to Rheumatoid Arthritis which was diagnosed abut 5 years ago.

Answer:

I am not licensed in South Carolina. However, most legal proceedings can be done pro se (without a lawyer). Keep in mind if you do file without an attorney you will be held to the same standard as an attorney. Meaning you will need to follow all the rules and procedures as if you were a lawyer. Your state may have a self help center with forms and or instructions for filing. Check out your states Bar or Judiciary websites for guidance. You may also want to contact your local legal aid for free assistance.
