‘An Act Concerning Spousal Support’
Amend the bill by striking out everything after the enacting clause and inserting the following:
‘Sec. 1. 19-A MRSA §951-A, sub-§4, as amended by PL 2013, c. 327, §1, is further amended to read:
Sec. 2. 19-A MRSA §951-A, sub-§12, as enacted by PL 2013, c. 327, §2, is repealed.
SUMMARY
This amendment strikes the bill and amends the provision regarding modification of an order of spousal support by specifying that an award of spousal support issued on or after October 1, 2013, is subject to modification when there is a substantial change in financial circumstances and additionally, as required in current law, it appears that justice requires the modification. The amendment also repeals the Maine Revised Statutes, Title 19-A, section 951-A, subsection 12, because this amendment addresses the modification of spousal support including in cases of cohabitation.
