Spousal support, also known as alimony or maintenance, is financial assistance provided by one spouse to the other following separation or divorce. The purpose of spousal support is to address disparities in earning capacity and financial needs between the parties. Our knowledgeable lawyers provide guidance on the factors considered in determining spousal support, including the length of the marriage, the financial resources of each spouse, and the standard of living established during the marriage.
There are different types of spousal support arrangements, including:
Compensatory spousal support is awarded to compensate one spouse for sacrifices made during the marriage that directly contributed to the other spouse's career or earning capacity. This type of support aims to recognize and offset the financial impact of contributions made by one spouse to the other's advancement during the marriage.
Non-compensatory spousal support provides financial assistance to address disparities in earning capacity or financial needs between the parties, without necessarily linking to specific sacrifices made during the marriage. This type of support aims to ensure financial fairness and stability for both spouses post-divorce.
Temporary spousal support is temporary financial assistance provided during separation or divorce proceedings until a final spousal support arrangement is established. This type of support helps maintain financial stability for the recipient spouse during the transition period and ensures that immediate financial needs are met.
Permanent spousal support involves ongoing financial assistance provided on a long-term basis, typically in cases where one spouse is unable to achieve financial independence due to factors such as age, health, or career sacrifices made during the marriage. This type of support aims to provide financial security and stability for the recipient spouse over an extended period.
When determining spousal support arrangements, various factors are considered, including:
Our lawyers provide strategic guidance on navigating the spousal support determination process and advocating for fair and equitable outcomes.
