HOW SPOUSAL SUPPORT WORKS IN CALIFORNIA
There are many factors that decide the length, the amount, and the overall ruling of Spousal Support, or alimony, in California. This state doesn’t have a set duration period for marriages longer than 10 years. It is up the person responsible for paying to provide evidence that the other party doesn’t need the supportive funding.
