Retirement can be a material change, but it does not automatically modify maintenance. Courts examine whether the change is substantial and continuing and whether it makes the existing order unfair. Colorado statutes discuss full retirement age in the maintenance context, which helps courts evaluate timing and expectations. Judges may compare pre and post retirement incomes, expenses, and assets. Evidence of good faith retirement planning is helpful. File promptly because modifications generally affect only payments after the motion is filed.To discuss your case, contact us today.
