The court expects both parties to contribute to each’s financial well-being. And so your need in retirement or your need in the later stages of your life, 55 and post-55 is determined by how much can you contribute to your own support and if there’s a shortfall in your need then your husband can be expected, can be coerced if necessary to financially contribute to that.
