    When a California couple divorces, a spousal support payment is not an automatic outcome of that divorce. In fact, spousal support payments are the most intensely contested matters in a divorce. That said, the laws of alimony in California are unique. The court prescribes numerous measures to be investigated before issuing spousal support order. To protect your rights and interests and to avoid exploitation on part of your former spouse, the spousal support lawyers in Los Angeles at MNB Law Group work tirelessly to preserve your well-being.

    Factors Involved In Spousal Support Cases

    California law recognizes that divorce can often leave one party without a vital source of income, and the intent of spousal support is to offset financial inequity and prevent economic hardship. If one spouse stayed home to raise the children, gave up career advancement for the benefit of his or her spouse or earned significantly less, then that individual could be eligible for spousal support, also called alimony. When determining the amount and duration of spousal support payments, the court will consider the following factors:

    • Length of the marriage
    • Ages and earning capacity of both spouses
    • Education needed for one spouse to reenter the workforce
    • Division of community property
    • Lifestyle and standard of living enjoyed over the course of the marriage

    Depending on the situation, alimony can be permanent or rehabilitative. Our LA spousal support attorneys will seek to secure either the financial support you need or reasonable payments depending on your situation, financial capabilities, and expectations for the future.

    Who Is Eligible For Spousal Support?

    In order to be eligible for spousal support, you need to prove your dependency on your spouse at the time of your marriage. Also, the duration of your marriage will determine your eligibility. If you were married for more than 10 years, you will be awarded alimony for a longer period. Similarly, if you were married for less than 10 years, your marriage will constitute a short-term marriage and you would be eligible for a lesser amount of alimony payments and for a shorter period. A competent spousal support lawyer in Los Angeles, California can help you determine your eligibility.

    Who Pays Alimony In Divorce?

    Laws on spousal support are gender neutral. The earning potential of each spouse, marital misconduct, and the duration of the marriage are some determining factors for who pays the spousal support. Generally speaking, the lower income spouse is entitled to alimony payments in order to maintain their standard of living and provide them with financial stability.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    How can I terminate long-term spousal support?
    Once your ex becomes self-supporting, remarries, or passes away, you can ask the court to terminate the long-term spousal support.
    What to do if I can no longer support my ex-spouse?
    If you become financially unstable, you can ask the court to modify your spousal support order. Make sure you apply for these modifications as soon as possible after the change in your situation.
    Do I have to pay spousal support if my ex remarries?
    No, Yyou do not have to pay in this case as the spousal support gets terminated automatically if your ex-spouse remarries or gets a new partner registered.
    Can I force my ex-spouse to work?
    No, you cannot do anything to make your ex-partner work, but you can ask the court to modify the amount as the ex-partner is not making any efforts to earn.
    How long do I have to pay spousal support for?

    The duration for spousal support payments largely depends on the length of your marriage. If your marriage lasts for less than 10 years, you will have to pay spousal support for no longer than half the term of your marriage. In case of marriages that last longer than 10 years, the court may not set a definite termination date during the trial.
