Spousal Support in California
Spousal support (alimony) may be ordered during or after a divorce to help the lower-earning spouse maintain a reasonable standard of living. California courts consider many factors when determining the amount and duration of support.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is spousal support determined in California?
California courts consider multiple factors including the length of the marriage, each spouse's earning capacity, the marital standard of living, each spouse's assets and obligations, and whether one spouse supported the other's education or career during the marriage.
How long does spousal support last?
For marriages under 10 years, support typically lasts half the length of the marriage. For marriages of 10 years or longer (considered 'long-term'), the court retains jurisdiction indefinitely unless the supported spouse remarries or either party passes away.
Can spousal support be modified?
Yes, either party can request a modification based on a material change of circumstances, such as a significant change in income, retirement, remarriage of the supported spouse, or cohabitation with a new partner.
