Spousal support is a regular payment one
ex-spouse makes to the other spouse. It is
not always awarded, but it is awarded when
one spouse is not able to make ends meet and
other spouse has the ability to pay. If the
parties cannot reach an agreement on the
amount of support, the court will make the
determination on whether support will be
paid and, if so, how much and for how long.
As your attorney, it is part of my job to
make sure the amount support and the length
of time you receive support will meet your
needs. If you are the spouse paying support,
I can determine if you have sufficient
resources to pay support.
