In California, the court may award spousal support based on various factors which include length of marriage, differentiation in income, health of the parties, employment history and need. In the preliminary stages of a divorce, if a party seeks temporary spousal support, the court will award it based on a computerized formula called a Dissomaster. At the trial stage, spousal support will be determined by the factors set forth above and not the Dissomaster.

With Legal Action Workshop's 'attorney-assisted' method spousal support can be requested in the Petition for the divorce. Our attorneys can also assist in obtaining temporary spousal support. In addition, once the Divorce is complete, our attorneys may also assist in the modification of a spousal support award.
