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!
i sure hope she only got 1/2 the retirement she was "entitled to." In my case i worked 7 years at my job before marrying my wife and of course shes only entitled to year 7 thru year of divorce of my job. Not 1/2 my entire pension.
so many people say '1/2 the pension' is theirs and that is not the case unless you started the marriage and job at the same time
just a nit pick but an important one to be sure.
if she makes more than him that indeed he had a bad atty. hopefully the maint. is modifiable to where you can proves she makes more and maybe his extra amount will stop.
