I am paying spousal support but I want to retire. Can my spousal support payment be adjusted?

A: It depends.  If you have a written agreement that has been incorporated into a final order of divorce, the support can only be modified as provided in that agreement.   If the Court adjudicated your support obligation in a contested trial, the Court has the authority to modify the support obligation if either party is able to demonstrate a "material change of circumstances" which warrants it.
