Understanding Spousal Support Eligibility And Calculation

Spousal support is a payment one spouse makes to the other after a divorce or separation. The purpose is to provide financial assistance to a dependent spouse. A dependent spouse is generally eligible for spousal support if they rely substantially on the other spouse for their maintenance and support.

In North Carolina, eligibility depends on various factors:

• Financial dependence on the supporting spouse
• Length of the marriage
• Each spouse’s earning capacity
• Standard of living during the marriage

The amount and duration of support vary based on factors such as the length of the marriage, the earning capacity of each spouse and the standard of living established during the marriage.

Common Spousal Support Mistakes To Avoid

When it comes to spousal support, people often make mistakes that can harm their case. Some common oversights include:

• Assuming they are or are not eligible for support without consulting an attorney
• Seeing support as a punishment rather than a means to ensure a fair standard of living
• Expecting alimony to be automatic without understanding the legal process of requesting support

At Scott Law Group , our lawyer and support team can help you avoid these mistakes. We will work with you to understand your unique situation and ensure you receive the support you deserve.
