Re: Does my wife deserve spousal support?
|
Anything acquired during the marriage is presumed marital and, usually, the peesumption is for equal division, that includes assets (eg. cars, retirment plans, furniture) and debts. It matters little in whose name they were acquired or incurred.
In most states, there is no ten year threshhold for spousal maintenance. By and large, that is a fiction in most states. Whether any spousal support is paid depends on a great number of factors, not the least of which is the respective earning capacities of the parties, the health of the parties, and the length of marriage. There is far too little information in your post to even begin making an informed opinion related to spousal support.
