Eligibility for spousal support depends on a variety of factors. Judges will consider the following factors to determine if you are eligible for spousal support and how much you might receive:
- 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
