Post-Divorce Efforts Improve Pension Benefits, May Affect Alimony
The Appellate Division has remanded to the Family Part a case in which a man moved to terminate his alimony obligation, but was denied. The parties in Krupinski v. Krupinski, DDS No. 20-2-5120, had been married for 20 years when they divorced in 1988, at which time the husband was a teacher making just under $50,000 per year. The wife was awarded $100 per week in alimony, plus a one-third share of her husband's future pension. The husband thereafter continued his education and was promoted, so that when he retired in 2010, his pension benefits were based on an annual salary of $132,210. The wife's share was $1,871 per month. This being the case, the husband sought termination of his alimony obligation. His motion was denied on the basis that, although the husband's retirement constituted a “changed circumstance,” he was still able to meet the alimony obligation.
