I have a question regarding duration of spousal support.
The situation is: Marriage of 13 years with two children. Both spouses worked during the marriage; however, the husband made more than the wife who had only worked part-time. Following the divorce (which was six years ago), the ex-wife continued to only work part-time. Custody, at that time, was 50/50 and both children were in school full-time. Spousal support was awarded.
There was a review two years ago at which time child support was changed as one of the children had moved out on his own (ex-husband provides monthly assistance directly to the son). The ex-wife continued to receive child support for the child still residing with her and her spousal support was increased to offset the fact that she was no longer receiving as much child support (as one of the children had moved out).
A review of spousal support is coming up soon. The ex-wife did not provide proof at the previous review of seeking full-time employment. She claims to not have the education necessary for a full-time job that has as high an hourly wage as her part-time job. However, she is not attempting to re-educate herself. The ex-wife is young (40's) and wasn't the full-time childcare provider during the marriage (responsibilities were shared).
Does anybody have any information on termination of spousal support and on what grounds? Any feedback would be appreciated.
Thanks!
