Spousal Support

Spousal support (also called alimony or spousal maintenance) may be awarded to help a spouse maintain the standard of living established during the marriage. The amount and duration of support depends on many factors.

California courts consider numerous factors when determining spousal support, including:

• Length of the marriage
• Each spouse’s earning capacity
• Standard of living during marriage
• Age and health of both parties
• Contributions to the other spouse’s education or career
• Assets and debts of each party
