Unlike child support, there is no specific formula for calculating permanent spousal support in California. The court considers various factors, including the length of the marriage, the marital standard of living, the age of the party seeking spousal support, the health of the party seeking spousal support, each spouse’s income, and their need and ability to earn a living, domestic violence factors, among others. In calculating temporary spousal support, the court may consider a Dissomaster™ calculation recommendation approach and other statutory factors.
