Spousal Support
Spousal support provides financial assistance to a former partner to help maintain fairness and stability after separation. It is designed to recognize the economic impact of the relationship and ensure that both parties can move forward on solid financial footing. The amount and duration of support depend on factors such as the length of the relationship, each partner’s income and earning potential, and their respective roles and contributions during the relationship.
Spousal support may also reflect situations where one partner made career sacrifices to care for the family or support the other’s professional growth.
