At the Law Office of Michael R. Fosco, we handle divorce and spousal support issues for clients from throughout the Bay Area. We understand one of the most contentious issues in a divorce is the determination of spousal support. Our firm aggressively represents your rights and interests at every stage of the case, whether you are seeking alimony payments or do not believe that you should be required to pay spousal support to your spouse.
Also commonly referred to as alimony, spousal support is the amount of money that is paid to one spouse by the other in order to support him or her in the lifestyle to which he or she has grown accustomed. Not all cases warrant spousal support, but it is important to speak with a lawyer to understand if alimony payments may be ordered in your situation.
There are many factors that are considered by the court when determining if alimony is warranted in a case and how much alimony should be granted. Some of the factors include:
- Length of the marriage
- The financial situation of both parties
- Each party's contributions to the marriage
- Standard of living throughout the marriage
- Age and condition of each spouse
