Alimony decisions in California hinge on factors like:
- 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
The aim of establishing spousal support or alimony is to reach a fair support agreement that ensures two former spouses can continue to maintain a standard of living like that which they enjoyed during the marriage.
