As well, there are a couple of new spouses that were no there at ground zero. This is certainly triggers a review. Time also can trigger a review. The entire concept of support is to get the other party going with regards to self sufficiency. It is not a lottery for life as some people expect it to be.
The original agreement is for $2K per month. He paid that. And now circumstances have changed. That's is the way it goes in the divorce act.
What I don't get is that everyone is keen to jump on the guy since he increased his net worth post divorce, yet how unsympathetic they are since he lost his job. hmmm..
