Unlike child support, spousal support is often very difficult (if not impossible) to modify after the divorce is final, so getting it right the first time is a must!
Doesn't the fact that she took him back to court and was awarded an additonal $100 in maintenance indicate that spousal support is modifiable?
If it wasn't, then she couldn't have gone to court and been awarded the additional $100. Or am I missing something here?

Yes, it does. Just because she was able to modify it doesn't mean that he will be able to eliminate it, that depends on how the court order is worded. It could be set up to where the amount is modifiable to a certain extent but that it is indefinite and that part is non-modifiable.
Either way, the poster's husband is the one who is going to have to take action to find out one way or the other. Given that he is on SSD, I don't think he would have a problem eliminating it. But that depends on the wording of the court order.
One thing for sure is that it isn't going to stop unless he deals with the steps necessary to stop it.
Thanks Jada for the clarification. I understand and agree that the poster's husband is the one who will need to decide if he is going to pursue attempting to have it adjusted down.
