Spousal support, known as “alimony” in some states, is a transfer of money from one spouse to the other during and after the divorce process. Typically, spousal support is given to help ensure a low-income spouse will continue having the same living standard as they did before the divorce. There are a few different types of spousal support, from temporary alimony to rehabilitative alimony.

Regardless of your participation in a spousal support obligation, you will need an attorney to guide you through the process. We have gained insight into both sides of the spousal support process from handling hundreds of cases similar to yours. We are equipped to assist you in getting your rights and resolving your spousal support disputes in a timely and cost-effective manner.

How Does the Court Decide Spousal Support?

The factors are numerous, but key on some the following:

• The spouse’s capacity to earn money
• What each spouse contributed to the education of the other
• The supporting spouse’s ability to provide spousal support
• The standard of living for each spouse during marriage
• The properties the spouses each may have
• The length of the marriage
• The ability of the supported spouse to get work while caring for children
• The physical well-being of both spouses
• If domestic abuse occurred between the parties
