The respondent husband brought a motion to change a final order for spousal support, seeking to terminate his $1,400 monthly payments due to his early retirement and the applicant wife's increased income.
The court found a material change in circumstances based on both parties' increased incomes and the husband's early retirement.
However, the court held that the wife was still entitled to support given the length of the marriage and her economic disadvantage.
Spousal support was reduced to $700 per month for 12 months, and thereafter to $1 per year until the husband turns 65, at which point it will terminate.
