Spousal Support & Alimony

Massachusetts has a spousal support statute, setting forth several factors that the court must consider in determining the amount and duration of spousal support.

Unlike child support, there are no guidelines or formulas as to how the court should award spousal support. Spousal support cases are by nature very individual and often unpredictable. In a long marriage or one in which one spouse sacrificed a career to stay home with children, spousal support might be the most difficult issue to resolve after parenting concerns.

The court will also consider how best to maintain health insurance for a both spouses after the divorce.
