variation in support


What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? New Brunswick
I am looking for some advice.
My current arrangement requires me to pay 1400.00 a month in spousal support after a 25 year marriage. I have been separated/divorced for 10 years. I remarried last year.
I am now unemployed. She has been accepting 400.00 a month since I became unemployed a few months ago. I am living of my savings right now but they will soon run out. I have retirement savings of about 130,000.00 along with a house worth 60,000.00 and 20,000.00 interest in another house.
My debts include a 65,000.00 mortgage and 3000.00 in credit cards.
I just found a part time job and I will be making about 700.00 a month, a lot less than I am used to making.
I want to make an appication to the court to vary the amount of support payable. Can anyone advise of what I might expect to be ordered to pay?
thanks in advance.

What is the financial situation of your former spouse. How old are each of you?

I'm 54 and she is 55. I don't think her financial situation is very good as she doesn't work much. She also blew all of the money we had divided equally upon separation and I had also bought out her half of the family home, that money is gone too. I kept my half and perhaps now I will be penalized for that.
I hope that is enough info.
