What Is Spousal Support?
Sometimes referred to as alimony or spousal maintenance, spousal support is the financial amount paid by one spouse to another during the course of a divorce and potentially continuing after its conclusion. This monetary support is awarded to help maintain a certain standard of living for the receiving spouse, aiding in their transition into single life. It ensures that they can sustain themselves in a manner that aligns with the lifestyle they became accustomed to during the marriage, compensating for any disparities that may arise due to the divorce. By providing this financial assistance, the law aims to create a fair path toward independence for both parties involved.
Factors Considered when Determining Support
When the amount of alimony support payments need to be set, the courts consider a number of factors, including:
- The length of the marriage
- The age of the parties
- The financial contribution of each of the parties to the marriage
- The income-earning potential of each of the parties
There are a range of other factors that may be considered. These can be discussed when consulting with your attorney, Brian D. Roman, regarding the specifics of your individual spousal support case.
