Spousal support

Yes. I’m in Texas where spousal support kicks in after 10 years. Coincidentally 😒 the same number of years I was married… she was also a SAHM, not a good position for me and spousal support. Here’s how I kinda eliminated it and any future claims. Offered her a one time lump sum payout of $36k (which equates to $1500 per year for two years). She accepted it in mediation with the stipulation it gets paid in 7 days from signing the agreement. I did pay (last Thursday on day 7) and now I don’t have a financial leach to worry about moving forward. I’ll call it a win.

It depends on what the support order says. Irrespective of the order, you can always try quitting your job and claiming its impossible to get similar paying job.

This is a question to a lawyer in MN. It varies a lot state to state. In some adjustments are nearly impossible, in others they are nearly automatic.
