Assuming that your divorce was conducted in California, a spouse may request that their spousal support obligation be terminated when there is a loss of job or reduction in salary.  Although there is a provision to prevent a reduction in support due to a spouse quitting their job or voluntarily reduces their salary, there are many factors that determine whether or not the reduction in salary would be qualify for a reduction of spousal support.Every case is different and because of that, a retirement may or may not be considered a voluntary reducation of salary, depending on the circumstances of that retirement.  It is always a good idea to speak to a family law attorney when dealing with requests for reductions and termination of spousal support.
