Determining, Modifying, or Enforcing Spousal Support
Call Our Pasadena Spousal Support Lawyer
As a family law firm, we will help you throughout the divorce and spousal support process. Our firm does this by educating each client on California state law regarding spouse and partner support including how long it may last and how it will affect each person's taxes. We work to help each client determine the amount of spousal support, modify or enforce an existing spousal support order, and prepare all of the necessary paperwork and forms needed by the court. Our partnership with our clients allows them to focus on what is most important to them, while we take care of the legal aspect of this challenging time in their lives.
In California, spousal support is determined by factors such as:
- The length of the marriage or partnership
- The standards of living of both spouses during the marriage
- Earning capacity of each spouse
- Each person's health and age
- Property ownership
- Debt of each spouse
- The existence or absence of domestic violence
- Tax consequences of spousal support on either person
