- 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
Spousal support can have a big impact on your finances so it is important to ensure you put the best case forward. That is why you should contact a family law attorney like Kendall Gkikas & Mitchell, LLP.
