WHAT IS ALIMONY?

Alimony, also known as spousal support, is a payment one spouse makes to the other during or after a divorce. In California, alimony is determined by a judge based on the facts of a case and the unique circumstances of the couple and their marriage.

HOW IS ALIMONY CALCULATED IN CALIFORNIA?

There are several different factors that go into calculating alimony in California. The main factors include:

• The length of the marriage
• The standard of living during the marriage
• Each spouse's earning capacity, ability to work, assets and debts, and their ability to earn
• The age of each spouse
• The physical and mental health of each spouse
• The financial needs of each spouse

A skilled alimony attorney in Whittier can help you determine how much alimony you are likely to be awarded based on these factors.

HOW LONG DOES SPOUSAL SUPPORT LAST IN CALIFORNIA?

In California, the duration of spousal support can vary significantly based on the specific circumstances of the divorcing couple. The duration typically depends on factors such as the length of the marriage, the recipient's financial needs, the paying spouse's ability to provide support, and any other relevant considerations.

Short-term marriages, usually defined as marriages lasting less than ten years, might result in alimony orders for a duration roughly equivalent to half the length of the marriage. 

For marriages lasting longer than ten years, the court may not specify an end date for alimony, leaving it open-ended. However, the court retains the authority to modify or terminate alimony orders based on substantial changes in circumstances.

It's important to note that each case is unique, and alimony arrangements can be influenced by a multitude of factors, making it crucial for individuals seeking guidance on this matter to consult legal professionals well-versed in California family law.
