How Will Spousal Support Be Determined?
Spousal support exists to make sure that one spouse is not left at a significant financial disadvantage after a divorce. In order to determine the amount a party will pay or receive, the court will consider a number of factors, including:
- Length of the marriage
- Health and age of the parties
- Present and future earning capacity of each party
- Contributions made during the marriage
- Ability of recipient to become self-supporting
- The reduced or lost earnings of one of the parties
