Calculating spousal support: a fair solution for both parties
Correctly calculating spousal support for a former husband or wife is a key step in a divorce, as it affects the financial stability of both parties. Our lawyers provide Spousal Support Calculation services in accordance with US federal and state law, helping clients obtain a fair amount of payments or avoid unfair obligations.
Spousal Support Calculation: what is taken into account in the calculation
To determine a fair amount of alimony, lawyers assess the following key factors:
- the duration of the marriage;
- the income of each spouse;
- the presence of dependent minor children;
- the standard of living achieved during the marriage;
- the age and health of both parties.
The calculation is possible for both permanent spousal support and temporary spousal support for the duration of the court proceedings.
How to Calculate Spousal Support: our step-by-step approach
To calculate spousal support for a former husband or wife, we use special calculators and methods recommended by US courts. Here is the standard algorithm:
- Initial consultation to collect data on the financial situation of both parties.
- Analysis of each party's income, expenses, and assets.
- Assessment of the recipient's needs and the payer's ability to pay.
- Formulation of a proposal regarding the amount of support and the terms of payment.
- Agreement on the terms or representation in court for approval.
This approach avoids mistakes that could result in one party overpaying or receiving an unfair amount.
Spousal Support Rights: your rights when it comes to alimony
Many clients are unaware of their rights when it comes to spousal support. Our legal team will help you:
- figure out whether you are entitled to receive or be exempt from payments;
- assess the possibility of changing the amount of alimony in case of a change in income;
- learn how to avoid unreasonable demands from your ex-spouse;
- prepare arguments to protect your interests in court.
Common mistakes in calculating alimony
- Underestimating or concealing income.
- Ignoring the debt obligations of one of the spouses.
- Lack of evidence regarding the standard of living during the marriage.
- Failure to take into account the impact of taxes on payments.
Please note! Spousal support is not an automatic right — it is awarded by the court only if there are compelling reasons, so proper preparation of documents is critical.
