Spousal Support
(Alimony)

Spousal support, also known as alimony, may be an issue when your marriage or registered domestic partnership ends if there is a significant difference in your and your partner’s incomes.  Spousal support is designed to provide the lower-earning person with money for living expenses.  The court looks at multiple factors when determining the amount and duration of spousal support. 

I can evaluate whether spousal support may be an issue in your case and, if so, the appropriate amount, duration, and characterization of spousal support given your specific circumstances.
