How Spousal Support Works in Lawrence

Spousal support is not automatic in divorce cases. Whether or not someone may be entitled to spousal support, also known as alimony, can come down to a few factors. Moreover, even if the court grants financial support, these payments will not continue indefinitely.

Factors that Can Affect Alimony Awards

There are a variety of possible factors that can impact the duration and amount of a spousal support award. The financial situations and standard of living of both parties are usually crucial elements that the court will consider in these cases. However, there are other factors that the court may deem relevant in reaching a final determination, such as:

  • The length of the marriage
  • The professional background of both parties
  • The employment situation of both parties

For example, suppose one spouse stayed home and raised the children shared by the divorcing couple. In that case, the court may consider the time they were outside the workforce and the duration it would take them to receive the training necessary to find adequate, gainful employment. The capacity of the other spouse to meet spousal support obligations consistently will also be a determining factor.

Due to the various factors involved, working alongside a trusted lawyer in Lawrence is essential to seek or push back against a request for spousal support.
