Pasadena & Beverly Hills Spousal Support Attorney

Are you seeking alimony in your divorce?

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 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.
