Spousal Rights & Duties

Spousal rights and duties refer to the legal responsibilities and entitlements that partners have in a marriage. These include the right to emotional and financial support, the duty to share household responsibilities, and the obligation to act in the best interest of one another. In divorce, these rights and duties manifest in issues like asset division, alimony, and child custody. Both spouses are expected to communicate openly and cooperate, and the law seeks to ensure fairness in resolving any disputes that arise during the marriage or upon its dissolution.
