Depends on the basis of the spousal support initially.
But in general, that should decrease the amount of spousal support to be paid.
Good luck!

As Micahel has indicated, it would depend on how the support figure was determined in the first place. Also, it depends on whether you would be modifying a spousal support order prior to the entry of a final Judgment, or after there has been a final judgment.
Also, whether or not it would decrease the amount of support that you would pay, depends on how much she is actually making. Up to a certain point, there may be little or no change.
