Spousal Support

Community Resources

Our mission is to provide compassionate and comprehensive legal support for spouses going through the marriage dissolution process. We understand that this can be one of the most stressful times in a person's life and we will work hard to provide the emotional empathy and compassion that your situation requires.

Spousal support (alimony) is based on established financial need of one party and the ability to provide support on the other. The purpose of spousal support is to help people become self-sufficient and capable of maintaining their own household for themselves and their children.

While Washington support laws provide specific guidelines, comprehensive analysis is necessary to ensure fair orders. Without an experienced family law specialist representing your interests, you may end up receiving less or paying more than is fair.

Spousal Support is based upon many different variables such as:

The receiving spouse’s education, health, work history, and earning potential
The length of the marriage
The paying spouse’s income, earning potential, and health
The existence and enforceability of a prenuptial agreement
The marital standard of living

Having an experienced Divorce Attorney with proficient knowledge of the new Washington Family Law Statutes is now even more crucial for achieving the correct outcome in your case.
