What is the name of your state? Ohio
This question is for my father who is not so computer literate but has a legal question.
Backgound, hope this is enough info.... My mother filed for divorce last week after 33 years of marriage. He has been the primary breadwinner and she was a SAHM who never realy went back to work fulltime even after the kids were grown. He is 65 and was plannng on retiring from being a self-employed brick layer. He does have SS money coming as well as a small pension from working odd union jobs throughout the years.
The question is, how is spousal support calculated when the divorce is filed and the defendant is still working, yet wishs to retire. Is it based on current wages, or can it be calculated solely based on retirmement? He is worried about actually retiring if he will still be forced to pay a higher amount of support as if he was still working. Should he retire now while the proceedings are still on-going? Or could this be seen as voluntary under employment (as in a CS situaton)
Thanks in advance for your help. If there are any additional details that need to be included in order to give advice, please let me know.What is the name of your state?
