Q. I was divorced in August of 2000 after 24 years of marriage. I have been paying spousal support since then.

1 June 2021

A: Yes you can ask the court to lower or eliminate the spousal support ordered. You need to file a motion to amend the divorce judgment to lower or eliminate the spousal support. in order to file such a motion it is important to spell out the substantial change in circumstances from the judgment creating the spousal support to today. Certainly retirement and lower income for you is a substantial change which may very likely convince the court to change the order. A court can make the change retroactive to when you file the motion so i would not delay.

Q. During covid times, going through a custody hearing, how do I speak for myself, bring a witness or present documents?

9 February 2021

A: in most Maine courts during covid hearings are conducted via the zoom video conferencing platform. Preliminary motions and conferences are being done by telephone conferences. At some point your case will have a pretrial conference and you will tell the judge or magistrate how many witnesses you want to call and how long the hearing will take. You really should consult with a family law attorney and hopefully hire one for the hearing.

Q. Can children testify in a custody hearing in state of Maine?

9 February 2021

A: yes they can but judges dont like to have them testify, if they will testify often the judge will ask the parents if the kids can talk to the judge without the parents present, it takes both parties to agree to that otherwise the kids get on the witness stand and both parties hear what they have to say. Young children are especially not a favorite of judges to have testify.
