Spousal Support

Spousal Support

Spousal support in California is paid by the higher earning spouse to the lower earning spouse in order to allow the supported spouse to live in accordance with the marital lifestyle, if possible. The amount of spousal support a court would order is dependent upon many factors and may differ depending upon whether the divorce is just beginning or the court is making orders at the end of the case. RRB assists our clients in achieving their goals relative to spousal support orders, which depending on the circumstances can mean obtaining more support, or reducing or terminating support altogether.
