Let us guide you through the process with expert legal representation tailored to your needs.
Understanding Alimony Termination Upon Retirement
In New Jersey, alimony termination due to retirement is a viable option under certain circumstances. According to N.J.S.A. 2A:34-23, courts may modify or terminate alimony if the paying spouse demonstrates a substantial change in circumstances, such as retirement. Retirement often reduces income, making it challenging to maintain alimony payments. Our New Jersey family law attorneys at Villani & DeLuca understand the nuances of these laws and can help you present a compelling case to the court.
Why Retirement May Justify Ending Alimony
Retirement typically marks a shift from earning a steady income to relying on savings, pensions, or Social Security. Courts consider factors like:
-
Age at retirement: Was it a good-faith retirement at a reasonable age?
-
Financial impact: How has your income changed?
-
Ex-spouse's needs: Does your former spouse still require support?
-
Length of alimony payments: Have you paid alimony for a significant period?
Our alimony modification lawyers will evaluate your case to determine if retirement-based alimony termination is achievable. We'll gather evidence, such as income statements and retirement plans, to build a strong argument for ending alimony obligations.
