Spousal Support

It is often possible to get spousal support for the spouse who earns less money as a way of transitioning to being self-supporting after the marriage.

The court may consider many factors such as the earning capacity of the parties, the living standard established during the marriage, whether one spouse’s earning capacity was impaired by periods of unemployment, the length of the marriage, and whether there was any domestic violence during the marriage.
