Spousal Support Recent Article List An In-Depth Discussion on Post-Separation Support & Alimony by Gilpin & Hatcher, P.C. Spousal support is often thought of as payments from a husband to his wife so she can sit around all day and eat chocolate bon-bon’s. Sadly, most litigants who seek spousal support need the money in order to simply make ends meet. Perhaps during the marriage one party’s career was sacrificed in order to stay home with the children while the other party assumed the role of primary bread winner.

When a case is contested, the best interests of the child determine child custody. Between the mother and father, whether natural or adoptive, no presumption applies as to who will better promote the interest and welfare of the child. The court considers acts of domestic violence between the parties, the safety of the child, and the safety of either party from domestic violence by the other party.
