temporary spousal support

Upon the initial filing of a divorce petition by one spouse, the issue of spousal support likely will come into play. A stay at home spouse will likely seek temporary orders for spousal support while the dissolution is ongoing until either a resolution is reached by a settlement agreement or by way of judicial trial. Temporary spousal support can be awarded based on solely the incomes of the parties and marriage length at the time of the request.

Permanent Spousal Support on the other hand, has to be analyzed a bit more closely. The court will weigh in several factors when it comes to the issue of permanent Spousal Support. Among these factors is the age of the parties, the educational and employment background of the disadvantaged spouse, the capability of that spouse to seek gainful employment, the skills and experience of the disadvantaged spouse, the income earned by each party and the length of the marriage. These are some of the factors involved among many when it comes to adjudicating the issue of permanent spousal support.
