You may want to seek modification of the alimony obligation in light of your retirement. Especially if the divorce decree entitles the ex to a portion of your retirement, the court may well agree that the reduced income is a material change in circumstances justifying a modification. You should consult with divorce lawyers as this is not something a person should try to handle on their own.
