Indefinite spousal support can sound very scary for the person who will be paying spousal support. For the person receiving support, it may sound like it is permanent. But both parties need to understand that indefinite spousal support means “until something changes.” What are some changes that could lead to modification or termination of indefinite spousal support?
- Remarriage of payee to a new spouse with income that could replace the support
- Loss of job of payor
- Reduction in income of the payor
- Substantial increase in income of payee
- Substantial inheritance to payee
- Cohabitation of payee with a partner with income that could replace support
- Retirement of the payor
These are the major reasons that could lead to a termination or reduction in spousal support. But none of these reasons are a guarantee. Each circumstance must be looked at carefully because every situation is different.
