Riverside Spousal Support Attorney

Spousal support refers to payments an independent spouse must make to a dependent spouse after they are divorced; spousal support may also be referred to as alimony. When spouses decide to go through with their divorce, spousal support may be an issue that needs to be addressed. If spouses are able to come to a mutual understanding regarding spousal support, and the agreement is fair to both sides, they can create a spousal support agreement. 

When spouses, however, cannot come to an agreement, the family court must get involved, and a judge must award spousal support accordingly. The court may award spousal support on a short-term or long-term basis. The type and amount of spousal support awarded will depend upon a variety of factors, such as the occupation of both spouses, the income of both spouses, the age of both spouses, the health of both spouses, the ability for the dependent spouse to return to work, as well as the duration of the marriage.
