Q: Can I modify alimony and child support in PA after agreement?
I agreed to a divorce in Northampton County, PA, and want to understand what my child support and alimony should be, given that my monthly gross income is $6,825 and my ex-spouse's monthly gross income is $3,465. We have one child for whom she has custody, and I kept the home. The agreement was finalized on February 3rd, 2025, but I can revisit it. Is it possible to modify just the alimony and child support if I find the agreement was too high?
A: Possibly yes as to the child support, probably no as to the alimony. If you had an attorney representing you for the negotiations and finalization of the divorce, that would be the best person to ask this question. If you were not represented, then locate a locale attorney experienced in family law to review your agreement.
