Determining Spousal Support

In most cases, the court will assume no support is necessary, so whoever is seeking spousal maintenance will need to convince the court they have made a good faith effort to earn an income or learn the skills needed to provide for themselves during separation or divorce proceedings.

If maintenance is deemed appropriate the judge will considered the following:

Each spouse’s financial resources at the time of the divorce
Ability of each spouse to provide for their own basic needs
Each spouse’s education and employment skills
Length of the marriage
Age, work history, earning ability, physical and emotional health of the spouse seeking support
Whether either spouse is paying child support
Any history of family violence
Any acts of adultery or cruel treatment by either spouse

If ordered to pay maintenance, your monthly payments cannot be more than $5,000 or 20% of your average gross monthly income, whichever is less.
