What Are The Factors Determining Spousal Support?
There are many different factors used to determine spousal support in the Commonwealth of Virginia. These factors include but are not limited to:
- Lifestyle during the marriage
- Financial needs of the receiving spouse
- Ability of the payor spouse to pay
- Earning potential of both parties
- Ages of both spouses
- Physical and mental health of both spouses
- Other financial resources of both parties
A judge will consider all these factors and more, and then make a decision on whether or not one spouse qualifies for spousal support from the other. The judge also uses these factors to determine the amount of spousal support ordered.
