Frequently Asked Questions
What is spousal support, and why is it awarded?
Spousal support, also known as alimony, is a financial award made by one spouse to the other after a divorce. It’s often awarded to help a former spouse become self-sufficient, especially if there’s a significant disparity in income or if the marriage was long-term. It’s crucial to understand the reasons behind the award to fully grasp your rights and options.
How long can I receive spousal support?
The duration of spousal support varies depending on the circumstances of the divorce. It can be limited to a specific period, such as the length of the marriage, or it can be permanent if one spouse needs support for a significant time due to factors like age, health, or lack of education.
What factors does the court consider when determining spousal support?
The court considers several factors, including the length of the marriage, the earning capacity of each spouse, the standard of living established during the marriage, and the contributions of each spouse to the marriage. It’s important to have a thorough evaluation of your situation to present a strong case.
Can I be required to pay spousal support if I’m the one receiving it?
Yes, in certain circumstances, a court can order a spouse to pay spousal support. This typically happens when one spouse has a significantly lower earning capacity due to factors like childcare responsibilities or a lack of education.
What if I disagree with the spousal support order?
If you disagree with the spousal support order, you have the right to challenge it. Mr. Sris can help you gather evidence, present your arguments, and protect your interests throughout the legal process.
