Determining Levels of Spousal Support ("Alimony")
If you are in the middle of a divorce case in which spousal support (sometimes referred to as alimony) is an issue, or living with an order for spousal support, how the process works can be confusing and overwhelming.
There are literally dozens of factors that a court can consider in setting and modifying spousal support, and different factors are used pre- and post-judgment. The court also uses different factors in deciding whether to modify or terminate spousal support.
The courts in California use the term "marriage of long duration", generally, but not always, when referring to a marriage of over ten years.
It can be especially overwhelming if you have experienced a change in your financial situation.
