Spousal Support

  • Spousal
  • Support

When partners separate, spousal support is an important issue that must be addressed within the Collaborative Process. If one spouse has been financially dependent upon the other during the marriage, or if there is a significant disparity in income earned by husband and wife, such complex and emotionally charged issues are best suited for the Collaborative Process. In other cases, it is entirely appropriate that husband and wife decide there will be no spousal support. Regardless of your situation, however it is always best for you and your spouse to stay in control of such decisions as opposed to having a judge decide what is best for you.

Our Virginia collaborative divorce attorneys at will help to guide you in spousal support determinations making sure that the decisions are fair to all concerned thereby allowing both co-parenting homes to be financially secure.
