Understanding Spousal Support in California
In the state of California, spousal support, also known as alimony, is designed to provide financial assistance to a lower-earning spouse after a divorce, helping them maintain a reasonable standard of living. The determination of spousal support is governed by a set of specific guidelines and factors outlined in California family law.
The nature and duration of spousal support can vary significantly based on several key considerations, such as:
-
The length of the marriage
-
The respective income and earning capacities of each spouse
-
The age and health of both parties
-
The Standard of living established during the marriage
-
The ability of the supported spouse to become self-supporting
-
Any history of domestic violence or other relevant factors
