Spousal support, also known as alimony, is a financial obligation one spouse may have to provide to the other after divorce. The amount and duration of spousal support can vary based on factors such as the length of the marriage, the financial needs of the receiving spouse, and the paying spouse’s ability to pay. Understanding the legal standards for spousal support and the process for requesting modifications is essential for individuals navigating divorce. Consulting with a family law attorney can provide clarity and support during this process.
