How Will Spousal Support Laws Apply In Your Case?
Spousal support can be awarded after your separation (before your divorce is finalized) or after your divorce. While spousal support is not required nor guaranteed in every situation, both parties to a divorce are typically concerned with how much they may be entitled to receive or how much they may be ordered to pay. It is critical to understand that unlike child support — which is decided by formula with little deviation — spousal support/alimony is always determined on a case-by-case basis and is rarely predictable.
When a spousal support agreement is not reached, the court considers 12 factors to determine if spousal support is warranted and, if it is warranted, the amount that should be awarded. Under some circumstances, a judge may render a decision without considering ANY of the 12 factors. Some of the important factors frequently considered include:
- The duration of the marriage
- The standard of living during the marriage
- The earning capacity of each party
- The extent to which a supported party helped the other party obtain education or a career
