Spousal support was suppose to end when I retired and ex wife became eligible for her portion of my pension. My attorney failed to address in final. I need help and answers!
When you say "supposed to" - what is supposed to happen is whatever it says in the court order. Are saying there was an agreement to different terms and then those did not get included in the final court order? Did your lawyer not let you review the order before it was entered? It's possible that the spousal support is still modifiable, depending on what it says. If this happened recently, you may still be within your appeal period, so it would be imperative that you act quickly. A lawyer could review your paperwork for a fee.
