How Is Spousal Support Determined In Michigan?

You are likely seeking out the help of an attorney because you and your ex-spouse don’t agree on the amount of spousal support you should receive. Under Michigan law, the court looks to a variety of factors to determine whether and how much spousal support to award you:

• The behavior of each spouse during the marriage
• The length of the marriage
• The occupation of each spouse
• The separation of assets to each spouse in the divorce
• The age of the parties
• Whether your spouse can pay child support
• The health of the spouses
• If there are other members of the family each spouse needs to support financially
• Fairness

A spousal support attorney can help you gather evidence to support each one of these factors. Most importantly, a spousal support attorney knows how to navigate the Michigan family law court system. You never know why a judge might deny your request for spousal support. To get the fairest award, you should hire a spousal support attorney to represent you.

Is Spousal Support A Lifetime Arrangement?

It depends; there are multiple ways a judge can order spousal support to be paid. One way is in a lump sum payment. Other times, a judge can order spousal support to be paid in monthly or yearly increments. Lifetime awards of spousal support are uncommon except in long-term marriages where the spouse requesting support is approaching or in the senior age range and does not have a way to support themselves. For the best possible outcome, you should hire a spousal support attorney to represent your interests.

Can I Change My Spousal Support Order?

Typically, a judge will only consider changing your spousal support order if new circumstances arise such as a change in custody or employment. If you are awarded a lump-sum payment, a judge will typically refuse to adjust said lump-sum payment.
