Permanent Spousal Support

Permanent spousal support is a financial arrangement where one spouse continues to provide ongoing financial assistance to the other after a divorce or separation. It is typically awarded when one spouse has a significant income disparity, or when the recipient needs support to maintain a similar standard of living achieved during the marriage. The amount and duration are determined based on factors like the length of the marriage, each spouse's income, and the recipient’s needs. The goal is to help the recipient become self-sufficient while recognizing the contributions and circumstances of both parties.
