Huntington Beach Spousal Support Lawyer

Guidance For Alimony Cases In Long Beach, Manhattan Beach, And Murrieta

For many people facing divorce, the amount of spousal support or alimony they will receive or will have to provide is a main concern. In California, spousal support is not a mandatory award. The court, using a wide variety of statutory factors, must decide whether spousal support is appropriate in each case, the amount of the award, and the duration of the award. Navigating the complex laws, special circumstances, and individual concerns requires the assistance of a highly skilled attorney who is trained in spousal support law.

Spousal Support Determinations

A spousal support award is made on the basis of several statutory factors, which include:

• The respective incomes of the parties
• The health of both parties
• The educational level of both parties
• The marital standard of living
• Retirement benefits
• The length of the marriage
• The tax consequences of an award
• Any other factors that the court determines is relevant and just
