Santa Rosa Spousal Support Attorneys
Sometimes referred to as alimony, spousal support is not automatic in a California divorce. The court has broad discretion in determining how much, if any, spousal support will be awarded. There are many different factors that the court considers in making its determination about spousal support. It is important to have strong representation from a skilled family law attorney who will present the strongest possible argument to support your position.
There is a lot at stake in spousal support cases and having the right representation can go a long way toward reaching a positive outcome. At the Law Offices of Julia J. Parranto, we work with clients on both sides of spousal support cases. We have a comprehensive understanding of the law and we know what it takes to build a compelling case on your behalf. We handle all aspects of spousal support matters, including modifications and other issues.
Fighting to Protect Your Interests
One of the factors that the court considers in determining spousal support is the length of the marriage. If the marriage lasted more than 10 years, permanent support is a possibility. For marriages lasting less than 10 years, permanent support is less likely but temporary support may be ordered. Other factors include the standard of living during the marriage and the supporting spouse's ability to pay.
