How is Spousal Support Determined?
Spousal support is typically determined by the judge who uses a formula to calculate the temporary spousal support. When it comes to determining the final amount for spousal support, a judge may not always utilize the formula and instead considers the following factors:
- The length of marriage or domestic partnership
- The needs of each spouse based on their standard of living throughout the marriage or partnership
- What each spouse can afford to pay in order to maintain their standard of living
- Whether being employed would make it too difficult for a parent to care for the children (if any)
- The age of each spouse
- The health of each spouse
- Joint and individual assets and debt
- Whether the relationship involved domestic violence
- The state and federal tax impact of spousal support
- And more
