East Bay Alimony & Spousal Support Lawyers
There are several factors that affect spousal support or palimony, including the length of the marriage, the incomes of each spouse, and the marital standard of living.
Typically, when spousal support or palimony is at issue, the court will make a temporary support order early on in the case, and later there will be a more in-depth hearing or trial to determine permanent spousal support or palimony.
The factors considered by a court in making a permanent award for spousal support or palimony are found in California Family Code Section 4320. Please review these factors and let us know of any facts and evidence in your case relate to your matter.
Modification of Spousal Support
Absent a Judgment or Marital Settlement Agreement specifically stating otherwise, either spouse may seek a modification of spousal support based on a change of circumstances. Changed circumstances include factors such as increases or decreases in income.
