Helping husbands understand spousal support guidelines

The amount of spousal support is determined using mandatory guidelines, but several factors are taken into consideration before support is granted or denied. In South Central PA and Harrisburg, our fathers’ rights spousal support lawyers work with divorcing husbands to outline such considerations as:
- Separated spouses living in the same residence

- Prenuptial agreement
- Length of the marriage
- Marital misconduct leading to the divorce
Spousal support can be granted to either spouse, depending on which of you has the greater income or assets. With more than 25 years of experience handling divorce and support claims, we give you an honest assessment of your situation and ensure that you have the information you need to be make the best decisions before agreeing to any settlement.
