Glendale Spousal Support Attorney

Are you seeking alimony?

When a couple divorces, support is often awarded to help a spouse maintain the same or similar standard of living that was established during the marriage. Temporary alimony can also be awarded depending on the situation. Support is not mandatory, and the court will consider various aspects of the relationship when deciding if it will be granted, including:

The duration of the marriage
The age and health of each spouse
Each spouse's income and assets
Each spouse's debts and liabilities
Each spouse's earning potential
If there are minor children, which spouse has primary custodial responsibilities
The ability of an unemployed spouse to find a job
The contributions each spouse made to the marriage
A spouse's ability to pay support
Tax consequences

Couples can work out their own agreements regarding support in addition to deferring the matter to the court. If you are intending to divorce, contact a Glendale divorce lawyer to discuss your eligibility for support and how to draft an agreement. A divorce attorney can review your case and provide useful legal information regarding support issues.
