Spousal Support When a couple legally separates or divorces, a court may order one of the parties to pay "spousal support" or "alimony" during and/or after the divorce process. Courts do not use a formula in determining spousal support, but do take certain factors into account. These factors include the length of marriage; standard of living; whether having a job would negatively affect child care, age, health, debts, or tax considerations; whether one spouse helped another acquire education, training or professional licenses; and whether there was domestic abuse in the partnership.

Property Division Division of property and debts can result in tremendous financial consequences. A couple can typically work out a separation of property, but until a judge confirms this agreement, the community property and debts belong to both parties. We help couples identify any and all marital assets to prevent unnecessary financial damage.
