What Is Considered In Spousal Support Determination?
The following factors are considered when determining if one spouse will provide financial support to the other spouse after a divorce is finalized:
- Length of the marriage
- Income of each spouse
- Age of each spouse
- Health of each spouse
- Education level of each spouse
- Earning capacity of each spouse
- Property division settlement
- Financial needs of custodial parent
- Standard of living acquired during the marriage
Generally, the longer the marriage, the longer spousal support will be paid. Temporary support can be awarded, and arrangements are reviewed regularly to ensure the same set of circumstances exist. For example, support can end when the dependant spouse remarries or no longer requires financial assistance.
