Washington Spousal Support

Spousal support is financial support paid from one spouse to another.  Spousal support can be ordered by court or can be made in an agreement between the couple.  If one partner earns significantly more than the other or if one partner’s job was to stay at home with the kids, spousal support may be necessary in order for the spouse to maintain a similar lifestyle to the one they enjoyed before the divorce or separation.  Spousal support will be calculated using Federal and state guidelines and will be based on the earning capacities and needs of each party.  The length of the marriage will also contribute to the need for a spousal support order (the longer the marriage was the higher the need for spousal support).  The length of time one partner is to receive spousal support will be determined by court or among the spouses and may depend on such factors as remarriage and job opportunities. 

The father’s rights attorneys at our Seattle firm can provide you with the information you need regarding spousal support and the issues that can arise.  If you are currently paying to a spouse who has remarried and who now has a successful career, your lawyer can help you with a spousal support modification and can work to have your payments reduced or even ceased all-together.  No matter what issues you face, you will rest easier knowing a Seattle father’s rights attorney is on your side.
