Alimony and spousal support are terms often used interchangeably. Essentially, both refer to financial support provided by one spouse to another after separation or divorce to help maintain a reasonable standard of living.
The specific terminology and laws can vary by state, but the goal remains consistent: to provide necessary financial assistance during a transitional period.
Missouri courts consider several factors when determining spousal support amounts, including the length of the marriage, the financial resources of both parties, the standard of living established during the marriage, and each spouse’s earning capacity.
An experienced attorney can help you understand how these factors apply to your individual case and work toward a fair resolution.
