Divorce Support Forums: FILING A MOTION!

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!

"At 56 how marketable would I be?"

Who knows? I don't think it's ever too late for anyone. I have a friend at school about your age and she is just starting classes and wants to change careers when she's done. She's a mother of grown children and a grandmother and she doesn't think it's too late for her.

The point I'm trying to make ultimately is that it's never a good idea to rely on someone else's money to support you, especially an ex. I mean, he could one day just stop paying, become disabled and be unable to work or die, and then what would you do?

[quote]I know that the decree say for life but isn't it the same when you go into marriage you expect it to be for life. I feel that even though it says life that it can be interpretative as a set number of years as is with lifetime warranties which really have set number of years and not if someone lives to be 100 years old. [/quote]

No, it's for life. There is no interpretative set number of years (if that were the case, the court order would have the number in it). Life means just that, life. Or remarriage. The original poster has not remarried.

Nor did she say anything about her ex becoming disabled (which would probably end spousal support). He's probably not going to get spousal support stopped.
