WISCONSIN Part 67

Will my maintenance end if my ex retires?

The retirement of a paying spouse may justify modifying or terminating maintenance in certain circumstances. For example, if a paying spouse retires and has no other source of income except his or her retirement benefits, of which you received half at the time of the divorce, maintenance most likely would be terminated. However, that would depend on why your ex retired, whether he or she has other sources of income, whether he or she can still afford to pay maintenance after retirement, and whether you can provide for yourself.
