Orange County and Fullerton, California Spousal Support Attorney
Spousal support may be available to parties at the time of divorce if they are left financially disadvantaged after a commitment to the marriage. Usually support is determined at the early stages of divorce or legal separation where one party was the primary wage earner. At The Law Offices of Barry T. Ward, we offer strategic and experienced legal services to protect the rights and the financial interests of our clients after a divorce.
We will focus on protecting your financial interests and needs after a divorce. Contact us to assert your rights to spousal support or to defend against unmanageable support obligations.
In determining spousal support, the court will look at several factors including the duration of a marriage, the income of the parties, any agreements made between the parties, and the ability of a dependent party to seek gainful employment. There are 15-18 factors used that will allow for a higher or lower determination of support. As your legal representatives, we will provide aggressive advocacy to assert your rights to spousal support or to defend you against unfair support obligations.
Spousal support may be based on the duration of the marriage, the standard of living during the marriage, the ability to work, and needs of the parties. We will tenaciously pursue your interests and will work on your behalf to collect or defend against support obligations.
