Spousal Support Lawyer in Valencia, CA
Serving Valencia Families Who Are Facing Divorce
Understanding how spousal support is awarded in the State of California is important when beginning the dissolution process.
There are many nuances in determining spousal support, both at the beginning of the dissolution or legal separation process and upon final judgment.
In determining the spousal support amount awarded, for both a short term and long term marriage, the court will look to a variety of factors. Some of these include:
- The earning ability of each party to continue the standard of living that they enjoyed during the marriage,
- Whether the party requesting spousal support aided the payor party in receiving their education, training, current or past job, or licensing that aids employment,
- The payor parties ability to make support payments,
- Each party’s needs, and
- The length of the marriage.
The court may also take into consideration any other factors determined to be equitable and just.
