The moving party husband brought a motion to change a final spousal support order, seeking to terminate his support obligation after retiring early at age 55.
He claimed his retirement was involuntary due to physical limitations from his physically demanding job, though he provided no corroborating medical evidence.
The responding party wife opposed the motion, arguing the retirement was voluntary.
The court found the husband's testimony credible and held that his involuntary retirement constituted a material change in circumstances.
The court ordered a reduction in spousal support effective the date of his retirement, based on his reduced pension income.
