The applicant, Galo Angulo, brought a motion to change a 2004 final order requiring him to pay spousal support, seeking termination of support and life insurance obligations due to his retirement.
The respondent, Shirley Angulo, brought a cross-motion seeking extensive financial disclosure, retroactive spousal support arrears, and an increase in ongoing spousal support, alleging Galo retired to evade payments.
The court found Galo's retirement at age 68, with outdated skills and health issues, constituted a reasonable material change in circumstances.
The court denied Shirley's requests for disclosure and retroactive arrears, finding her claims speculative and her delay in seeking arrears unconvincing.
The court emphasized the parties' separation agreement clause requiring them to rely on their capital for support in retirement.
Spousal support and the life insurance obligation were terminated effective April 30, 2019.
