Spousal support, also known as alimony or family support, is designed to help a former spouse with fewer financial resources maintain their livelihood. Spousal support is a series of payments that are made by one party to their ex-spouse following a divorce.
Having a dedicated San Jose spousal support attorney walk you through this legal process can help to ensure a reasonable and fair support agreement is put in place.

In a divorce, the court is not required to issue alimony. When it is considered, the court will examine a wide range of aspects. These factors can include the length of the marriage, the needs for a basic standard of living, if one spouse contributed to the professional career of the other spouse, whether domestic violence was an issue in the marriage.
