You may be entitled to some spousal support. Unlike child support, there is no formula for spousal support in Ohio. Rather, the court examines a number of factors contained in a statute.

I agree with the previous attorney's answer:  It's difficult to know exactly what has happened in your case. Unless the prior court order clearly stated that upon your former spouse moving from the residence she was in at the time of your divorce, you were allowed to immediately ireduce your spousal support payments to her by a certain dollar amount, if you simply arbitrarily began sending her less money after she moved, you may have "done something wrong" by violating the prior court order.  You didn't indicate what happened after the opposing counsel claimed your action was self-serving.  Did the judge make a ruling?  Is the matter still pending? In the mean time, I don't think you need to use any particular legal term to make your argument to the court.  IF the prior order is clear in its terms and is still in effect, just refer to the actual terms in the order that you believe give you the right to lower the child support.

Having a marriage annulled is more difficult because of the criteria needed to be met.  changing your mind about wanting children would not make you eligible for an annulment.  you can file for a "no fault" divorce much more easily.
