Can spousal support be awarded in a short-term marriage?
0 CommentsSpousal support can be awarded in a short-term marriage if the court determines it is necessary based on the specific financial circumstances of the case. The duration of spousal support will be up to the court’s discretion. There is a statutory provision that says that in short term marriages (under 10 years), there is a presumption that the supported spouse should be self-supported within the time period of one-half (1/2) the length of the marriage.
