Spousal Support

This can be one of the most confusing areas in family law. There are several factors that the court may consider but does not necessarily consider in every case. These factors include length of marriage, a parties work experience and training, the financial needs and resources of a party, as well as many others. Additionally, the length of time for which spousal support may be received can vary greatly from case to case. This could be as little as a few months or as long as the rest of a person’s life. The best way to sort through this issue is to speak with an Oregon attorney.
