Spousal Support and Alimony Lawyer

In South Carolina, alimony (or spousal support) is not governed by state guideline - it is awarded to one spouse based on a number of factors considered by the family court as guidelines.
In deciding whether to award alimony, a court will generally consider such factors as:
- Length of marriage, ages of spouses at time of marriage, and at time of divorce
- Physical and emotional condition of each spouse
- Standard of living established during marriage
- Marital and non-marital properties of each spouse
- Existence and extent of support obligation from a prior marriage
- Child Custody
- Current and anticipated earnings & expenses of each spouses
- Marital misconduct or fault of either spouse
- Tax impact of support award
