I pay my ex Spousal Support based on her earning no income. She is capable of earning income but has chosen not to and operates a small home based business which she claims is currently generating aprox $5000 annual income.
My Question for all is this. In our seperation agreement she was intitled to a portion of my pension which she has recieved locked in a LIF or RIF not sure exactly. I do know that she is entitled to draw on it at this time. Is my ex obligated to draw on this now or can she choose not to because it will lower the amount of SS she is entitled to?
Her position currently is that " Why should i depleat my pension when my ex is capable of paying me SS. Am i wrong to think this is contrary to spouses doing what they can to be self sufficient?
