The guidelines for determining spousal maintenance vary from state to state. In California, temporary spousal support can be awarded using the child support calculator (known as the Dissomaster). When calculating alimony amounts for after the divorce, the court will consider the length or marriage, income of both spouses, marital standard of living, plus the age, education, health and work history. In the case of long-term marriages, where one spouse earned substantially more than the other, alimony may be permanent. In other cases, alimony may be paid only until the economically disadvantaged spouse is able to gain the education and skills needed to become self-sufficient. Alimony is often negotiable and a skilled spousal support lawyer will ensure your spousal support order is fair.
