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:

• The duration of your marriage
• Reasons for the divorce
• Property division
• Incomes of each spouse
• Occupations of each spouse
• The self-sufficiency of each partner
• The standard of living sustained during the marriage
• Age of each spouse
• Health of each spouse
