Whether or not you are entitled to spousal support depends on many different factors. Spousal support, also known as alimony, is designed to make sure that two former spouses can each maintain the same living standard that they experienced during the marriage. When determining who, if anyone, is eligible for spousal support, the judge will look at many factors, including:
- Length of the marriage
- Standard of living while married
- Earning capacity of the spouse requesting support
- Other spouse’s ability to pay support
- Age and health of both spouses
- Division of assets and debts
- Custody arrangements for any children
- Any history of domestic violence
- Existence of any prenuptial agreement
