Calculating Spousal and Child Support
It is crucial to have a clear picture of the valuation of marital assets during your negotiations. Negotiations and the litigation of support issues hinge on the values and amounts assigned to your marital assets. Being able to demonstrate, based on our own expert analysis, your current wealth and earning potential, we can better make the case for how much support should be paid.
For spousal maintenance or support, there are a range of issues to consider, including:
- Current Incomes
- Employability of the Supported Spouse
- Length of the Marriage
- Standard of Living
- Education and Earning Potential of Supported Spouse
And for child support, the court usually begins with the Child Support Standards Act (CSSA), a formula that many judges simply plug numbers into to derive results.
At the law office of Arroyo Copland & Associates, we have the experience to understand that acting to dictate the terms of support backed by our network of financial experts gives us the best opportunity to reach a fair plan that works for you.
