O’Malley Law Office, LLC Can Protect Your Financial Future

seeking spousal support during a divorce in pennsylvaniaSpousal support is one of the issues that must be faced in a divorce or separation agreement. In Pennsylvania, spousal support is a certain amount of money paid by one ex-spouse to another.

Also known as alimony, it may be paid as a lump sum or in regular increments for a set period of time (or infinitely, under certain circumstances). Alimony pendente lite, “while the action is pending," refers to spousal support that is paid while the divorce is still in the process.

When awarding spousal support, Pennsylvania courts may look at a number of factors:

  • The duration of the marriage;
  • Each spouse’s income and earning potential;
  • Any potential inheritance or other assets each spouse may acquire;
  • The age and health of each spouse;
  • The standard of living experienced during the marriage;
  • The assets and debts of each spouse;
  • The financial needs of each spouse;
  • The impact spousal support may have on each spouse’s taxes;
  • Each spouse’s ability to be self-supporting;
  • Each spouse’s contributions during the marriage;
  • The division of property in the divorce; and
  • Any misconduct on the part of either spouse during the marriage.
