Determining Spousal Support Payments and Duration

Massachusetts Probate Court judges have discretion to award spousal support, provided it is within existing guidelines and the court's decision is based on the facts and the circumstances existing at the time the award is granted. The facts are integral and carefully reviewed. Your attorney will play a big part in understanding this issue, discovering the possible existence of not easily identifiable assets or income, and showing the Court all the necessary information and facts to help you reach the goals you are hoping for. The judge will examine, among other things, the following before awarding spousal support:

  • The length of the marriage
  • The conduct of the parties during the marriage
  • Age and health of the parties
  • Occupations of the parties and their incomes
  • Sources of income
  • Vocational skills and employability of the spouses
  • Assets and debts of the parties
  • Any special needs of the parties
  • The opportunity of the parties to acquire future income and assets
