What are my Spousal Support Options?

Divorce is the dissolution of a marriage and not the end of your obligation to your former spouse.  In most divorce cases one partner is more financially viable than the other.  Because of this the less well-off partner is entitled to equitable financial compensation to help them cope financially with their new post-divorce lifestyle.

Spousal support is established to recognize one individual’s support given during the union even though it was not an equal sharing of expenses.  Alimony, by the way is available ONLY to those that have been legally married.  You may anticipate that the court will award financial assistance based on factors such as the duration of the marriage, each person's earning capacity, contribution to household or career, and physical health of the recipient.

How does spousal support effect you in the state of Washington?  Hear the facts from someone who has represented divorcees in the Seattle/Bellevue/Everett area for nearly 35 years.  That man is Attorney Lyle M. Clark.  Do not hesitate another minute call Attorney Clark at (425) 452-3092 and make an appointment to visit him at his office located at 40 Lake Bellevue Suite 100 in Bellevue WA.
