Spousal support refers to financial payments made by one spouse to support the other following separation or divorce. Such payments may be established through mutual agreement or by court order.

When determining entitlement, amount, and duration of spousal support, the court considers the following factors:

The financial needs and circumstances of both spouses;
The length of the marriage or relationship;
The roles each spouse played during the relationship;
· The economic impact of those roles on their current financial positions; and

· The expectation that both parties make reasonable efforts to achieve financial independence within a practical timeframe.

Given the complexity of spousal support matters, it is essential to seek guidance from an experienced family lawyer. Ensuring that both parties can meet their financial needs and work toward independence is critical as they transition to the next chapter of their lives.
