San Fernando Valley Fathers’ Rights Attorneys

Spousal Support

If you are a father or a husband going through a divorce or legal separation, spousal support is an issue that will need to be addressed. Most people associate receiving spousal support or alimony with women alone, but the truth of the matter is that a husband or a wife may receive spousal support after a divorce or separation. Both men and women experience financial difficulties after a divorce, particularly when awarded custody of the child or children or when the other spouse was the main bread winner.

How Spousal Support or Alimony is Determined

Spousal support amounts and the duration of this support will be determined based upon numerous factors:

• The length of the marriage
• The standard of living during the marriage
• The property and assets of each spouse
• The age and health of both spouses

There are other factors that will be taken into account as well. A skilled and aggressive attorney can work to assert your rights and influence the court’s decision in this regard. Working with financial experts and professionals in this field can mean that your interests will be accurately represented so you can receive the support you need or avoid paying unnecessary spousal support.
