This decision addresses a motion to change brought by the respondent, Craig, to terminate child and spousal support obligations following his retirement, and a cross-motion by the applicant, Victoria, to increase spousal support and continue child support.
The court found Craig's retirement at age 64 to be reasonable and a material change in circumstances, despite Victoria's arguments that it was premature.
The court also acknowledged the termination of Victoria's long-term disability benefits as a material change.
Ultimately, spousal support for Victoria was terminated effective December 31, 2021, due to her significant net worth and perceived improvident financial management, emphasizing the objective of self-sufficiency.
Child support for Natalie was continued until August 31, 2023, for her graduate studies, but not beyond, and specific s. 7 expenses were capped and apportioned based on previous orders.
