Assisting You in Spousal Support Cases
Many people may think that spousal support is granted automatically to a spouse, but that is not the case. Unlike child support, there is no specific formula the courts use to determine the amount of financial support a spouse will be required to pay or receive. Spousal support may be granted temporarily (until the divorce is complete), over a set length of time, or as one lump sum.
Many factors are considered in the negotiation of spousal support:
- Length of the marriage
- Education of each spouse
- Earning capacity of each spouse
- Standard of living established during the marriage
- Age of each spouse
