Determining Spousal Support in a California Divorce

Spousal support may be determined based off a number of factors. You and your spouse may be able to come to a creative agreement on your own that addresses your unique needs and concerns, or the court may make a judgment in this regard if you cannot come to an agreement out of court.

In determining spousal support a judge will look at different issues:

  • The length of the marriage;
  • The quality of living both parties enjoyed during the marriage;
  • Each party's contribution, monetary and non-monetary, to the marriage;
  • Each party's income, earnings and assets;
  • Any financial obligations of each party;
  • The education and job skills of each spouse; and
  • The age and health of both parties.
