Spousal Support

Temecula Alimony Lawyer

Compassionate Counsel for Alimony in California

While the California Family Code provides for the payment of spousal support (alimony), the law also provides that the court may order the payment of spousal support to cease or decrease. This would be the case, for example, if the supported spouse finds a job that enables him or her to support him/herself. In addition, the court may order a decrease in the level of support if the supported spouse's income increases. The Law Office of Neda Aguirre, APC, represents clients in cases involving the modification of alimony. We are committed to helping you understand your options and work towards the best possible outcome for your case.

How Is Alimony Calculated in California?

Alimony, or spousal support, is determined by the California Family Code. The court will look at certain factors when determining the amount of alimony, such as the length of the marriage and the financial situation of both spouses. Although the court will not take the job skills of the supported spouse into consideration, the job market and ability to earn an income that allows the supported spouse to support him or herself will affect the duration of the alimony. The court will also take into consideration the assets and debts of both spouses when determining the amount of alimony.

The most common types of alimony in California are:

  • rehabilitative alimony - alimony designed to help the supported spouse become self-supporting;
  • general term alimony - alimony paid for a specific length of time;
  • lump-sum alimony - one-time payment of alimony to the supported spouse.

If you are considering filing for divorce in California, our alimony attorney in Temecula can help you understand your options and plan for your future.

Can Alimony Be Modified Or Terminated In California?

In California, alimony is not necessarily a permanent arrangement. It can be modified or terminated under certain circumstances. If there has been a significant change in the financial situation of either party, such as a job loss, a substantial increase in income, or retirement, the court may consider a request to modify the alimony order. Additionally, if the receiving spouse remarries or begins cohabitating with a new partner, this can be grounds for terminating alimony.

It's important to understand that modifications or terminations are not automatic. The spouse seeking the change must file a formal request with the court and provide evidence supporting the need for modification. The court will then review the case, taking into account various factors, including the current financial status of both parties and the duration of the original alimony order.

Our temecula spousal support attorney has extensive experience handling alimony modifications in California. We work diligently to ensure that our clients' rights are protected, whether they are seeking to change an existing order or defending against an unjust modification. If you believe your alimony arrangement should be modified, we can guide you through the legal process to achieve the best possible outcome.
