California Spousal Support Lawyers
Experienced spousal support lawyers guiding you through your case

What is Spousal Support?
Spousal support—often called alimony—is a court-ordered payment from one spouse to the other during or after a divorce. Its purpose is to help the supported spouse maintain a lifestyle reasonably consistent with the marital standard of living.
In California, spousal support laws are gender neutral and do not depend on fault. Either spouse may be entitled to receive support, depending on the financial circumstances of the case.
At Cage & Miles, our California spousal support lawyers guide clients through every step of the process, from temporary support orders to long-term spousal support arrangements.

Why Does spousal support Exist?
While the primary purpose of spousal support is to make sure the spouse with less financial stability is capable of maintaining the marital standard of living post-separation, spousal support also gives the lower income spouse time to acquire the necessary skills to become self-supporting.

How is Spousal Support Calculated?
One of the first things divorcing parties want to know is exactly how much spousal support they should expect to receive or pay. Unfortunately, there is no black letter law that attorneys can use to calculate a spousal support order. At the beginning of the case, there can be more certainty in terms of predicting a spousal support order. However, long term spousal support awards are based on a set of factors weighed by the court and different judges may make different orders based on the same set of facts. At Cage & Miles, our spousal support attorneys have years of experience helping our clients resolve their spousal support cases by fighting to make sure that the amount of support awarded is fair and equitable.
