Legal Question in Family Law in Ohio

I am eligible to retire under the civil service retirement system. I am paying 2500/mo spousal support. I have 4.5 yrs remaining to pay. The divorce decree states that when I retire my ex wife will get a percentage of my retirement. This is based on the number of years of marrige divided by the total number of years I have in civil service. My question is if I retire now can I get the alimony reduced or eliminated? The amount she would receive from my retirement would be close to the amount she now receives from alimony.

In Ohio, it would be impossible for an attorney to answer this without reviewing the divorce decree's actual wording. If you want a legal opinion on this, contact me at [email protected] and we can likely work something out.
