Spousal Support

Kansas City Metropolitan Area Spousal Support Lawyers

The purpose of spousal support in Kansas and Missouri is to provide financial assistance to a spouse following a separation or divorce. Spousal support helps ensure a fair transition for both parties.

It is important to recognize that spousal support is not guaranteed in every divorce case, but can be ordered by the court or agreed upon by both parties. Either way, whether determined in court or by the involved parties, spousal support is awarded based on need, ability to pay, and the financial and personal dynamics of the marriage.

Fisher Law LLC is prepared to assist clients on both sides of the issue, those seeking spousal support and those being asked to provide it. No matter your side, the firm can help provide clarity regarding spousal support.

How Is Spousal Support Determined?

When the courts in Kansas or Missouri grant spousal support, there are many factors that go into determining the payment requirements.

For Example:

  • Each party’s age, health, and overall physical condition
  • Each party’s financial position and ability to support himself or herself
  • The length of the marriage
  • The standard of living established during the marriage
  • The time necessary for the requesting spouse to acquire education or skills to become self-supporting
  • Conduct of the parties during the marriage

Modifying Spousal Support

Finances changes, and, as with child support and child custody, you can modify spousal support. If financial circumstances change, either party can request a modification or termination of the original order, so long as it allows for modification.

The team of attorneys at Fisher Law LLC can help Kansas or Missouri individuals file for a spousal support modification due to changes in income, remarriage, retirement, health issues, or any other circumstances that may arise.
