Description

The Divorce modification with partial claim in North Carolina is a legal form that allows a defendant in a divorce case to request a modification of alimony or support obligations due to a significant decrease in their income. This form is particularly useful for individuals who have fallen on hard times and can no longer meet the financial demands set forth in the original divorce decree. Key features of the form include sections for the affiant to declare their residence, provide details of the final judgment regarding alimony, state the amount paid to date, and explain the reasons for requesting a modification. Users should ensure to attach a copy of the original judgment as an exhibit. Filling out the form accurately is essential; it requires the defendant's printed name, signature, and the date of swearing before a notary public. Legal staff, such as attorneys, paralegals, and legal assistants, should guide clients through the completion process, ensuring that all necessary information is documented and that the certificate of service is duly filled to confirm the delivery of the affidavit to the plaintiff’s attorney. This form is particularly beneficial for attorneys representing clients needing to adjust their alimony obligations, as well as for defendants seeking relief from unjust financial pressure, thereby protecting their legal rights in the divorce modification process.
