Spousal support law

Following is information on spousal support law in Virginia that you should be aware of:

  • Length of support: It is at the discretion of the court to determine the length of spousal support. The court may order that spousal support last for a limited time, an unlimited time, or in the form of a lump sum.
  • Adultery: Spousal support is prohibited if a spouse commits adultery. However, there must be clear and convincing evidence showing that the accused spouse engaged in a relationship outside the marriage.
  • Contempt: A failure to pay spousal support can result in jail time.
  • Considerations: When determining the amount of spousal support and if a spouse is deserving of support, the court considers many factors including, age, duration of the marriage, and the standard of living during the marriage. The court also considers the job skills and education of each spouse. For more information on how the court handles spousal support, be sure to contact an experienced Manassas divorce lawyer.
