Terminated Spousal Maintenance for Client Forced Into Retirement

Divorce settlements are not always set in stone. Circumstances change, and when that happens, your divorce agreement should be modified to reflect those changes. Unfortunately, changes to settlements are sometimes met with pushback from former spouses.

This was the situation for one of our clients when he was forced to retire early due to serious knee injuries, which drastically reduced his income. To make matters worse, his former spouse refused to agree to terminate or modify his spousal maintenance obligation. 

That's when he sought the assistance of Robinson & Henry's Family Law Team. We filed a motion to terminate maintenance. Through counsel, our client's former spouse agreed to our motion, thus alleviating our client's financial burden.
