The applicant husband brought a motion to change a final order for spousal support, seeking to terminate his support obligations following his early retirement due to post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
The court found that the applicant's medical condition constituted a material change in circumstances.
However, the court determined that both parties were intentionally underemployed—the applicant by choosing to work at an unremunerated vineyard and winery, and the respondent by failing to maximize her income from her virtual assistant business.
The court imputed income to both parties and ordered that spousal support be reduced to $900 per month indefinitely, rather than terminated.
