Spousal Support

Spousal support also referred to as alimony or domestic partner support, is influenced by various circumstances. The court may or may not order one domestic partner or spouse to provide the other with monthly maintenance following lawful separation or divorce.

Long-term or permanent support and temporary support are the two main types of spousal support. Long-term support is a subset of “reimbursement” support. A spouse may potentially get interim support before the divorce is final.

Some judges base their decisions on the premise that support should continue for half as long as the marriage did before moving up or down the scale based on various considerations.

The legal difficulties surrounding spousal and partner support can be complicated, differ slightly depending on the county where the lawsuit is filed, and have potential financial repercussions. You will gain from hiring a lawyer knowledgeable about not only your legal rights or financial needs but also the steps required to get what you need. This involves being aware of the support estimates needed by the family court.
