Missouri Court of Appeals, Eastern District / Aug 4, 2020
Gregory Tillett, Appellant, vs. Margaret Tillett, Respondent.
Gregory Tillett appealed the trial court's judgment on his motion to modify his maintenance obligation to Margaret Tillett, seeking to eliminate it entirely. The trial court reduced his monthly obligation from $2,470 to $1,500 but rejected his argument to impute income to Wife due to her retirement and continued his life insurance obligation. The appellate court affirmed, finding the trial court did not abuse its discretion in determining that Wife's retirement was appropriate given her age and health, and that she made good faith efforts toward self-sufficiency.
