My ex-spouses circumstances have changed, can my maintenance be increased?

If you are receiving ongoing spousal maintenance and your circumstances have significantly changed, or your former spouse’s have, you may be able to apply to the family court for your spousal maintenance to be varied. For example, if your spouse’s income has dramatically increased, you can argue that the amount paid to you could also go up.

This will often be informed by what your income needs are, but the court may even order a surplus above what you need. If your ex has increased their capital wealth substantially, it may be possible to capitalise these payments ending your monthly reliance on your spouse. You can learn more about applying for a variation of your spousal maintenance here.

As top family lawyers, Vardags can advise you when it is appropriate to make an application for variation.

If you think that your partner hid their income potential during your divorce proceedings, this may count as non-disclosure. Their dishonesty could mean that you are able to re-open your entire case and obtain not only higher maintenance but also increased capital provision.
