 Spousal Support

Permanent Spousal support is calculated based on consideration of several factors, including the length of the marriage, the age and health of the parties, the parties’ expenses, each party’s earning capacity, a spouse’s impairment of earning capacity to focus on household duties rearing minor children, any incidents of domestic violence during the marriage, the parties’ respective assets and incomes, tax consequences, and the balance of the hardships between the parties. This is also a nuanced area of family law and many lawyers forget to use important factors effecting spousal support and the courts ability to award it in the future. We can guide you through this process to ensure your goals are accomplished.
