San Bernardino Spousal Support Lawyer

Respected California Divorce & Alimony Attorney

When two people are divorced or legally separated in the state of California, the courts may determine that spousal support (alimony) be paid. It will be ordered to be paid to the dependent spouse from the independent spouse, unless waived by both parties. If you and your spouse are able to come to a fair, mutual understanding and agreement as to who will pay spousal support, you can create a spousal support agreement. If you are unable to agree, the judge overseeing your divorce case will order that arrangements for permanent, temporary or lump sum spousal support is paid. The judge will base the decision as to whether spousal support should be paid, and how much. This will be based on many different factors, including:

• How long you have been married
• Reason for the divorce
• Property division
• Income of each spouse
• Occupation of each spouse
• If each spouse is self sufficient
• What the accustomed standard of living was during the marriage
• Any needs that must be met
• Age of each spouse
