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!
Just married a wonderful man that has been divorced since 2005...He retired from a federal job due to several doctors recommendations...and his ex agreed to the retirement...He was in a terrible mental state when going through this divorce and she took avantage of it fully... She gets half of his retirement..will receive half of his life insurance and looks like he is ordered to pay for Spousal survivors benefits...Then she took him back to court and got another $100 amonth in maintenance...this all happened in Kansas...She makes more money monthly than he does...he is living on next to nothing while trying to he on SSD...We live in AR...He also had a terrible lawyer back then , who has removed him self since from practice...Is there anyway we can get a lawyer down here in AR to set some of these provisions revoked??...He was and still is not able to mentally handle the stress and paperwork that is needed in doing tis process but I am...Any advice???...akc1956
