Read that retirement @65 stops need to pay alimony

10/16/09 02:12 PM

Hi all, thanks for your many bits of advice on an earlier question I had. I have a new Q that I think is a whole different topic: I just read something that sounds as if in California, a man can very likely get spousal support cut way way down, even to zero, after he formally retires:

This seems HUGE and wonderful. Since for a guy the nightmare scenario is spending old age having your money drained forever by the remorseless wheels of marriage law.

For me personally at 48 years old, with 2 kids age 9 and 7, this suggests the following is plausible: Stick it out for the kids for another 11 years, love and support them and make them wise strong adults. Then I'm 59. Pull the plug on the spouse, as diplomatically as possible (Geneva Convention thinking, avoid unnecessary suffering). So, she might get 6 years Spousal Support if she's become a complete parasite by that time (I hope to nudge her to have her own solid income by then of course).

If this retirement thing is true, I think this would work well. 6 years is not forever, and it's also a pretty decent interval for a woman to get her s--t. together. So I think I could with good conscience say, hey, you've got a medical degree, you have brains, even Starbucks pays a living wage if you have the house (which I'd be fine with just giving her). If she can't be self-supporting in 6 years, then c'est la vie.

Anyone have experience with the retirement-ends-alimony ruling?
