Question

When husband and wife are divorcing, does husband have to pay spousal support? They both have roughly the same salary. Thanks!



Answer

One of the key factors in calculating support has to do with the incomes of the parties. If the incomes and employment benefits are truly the same, then a dollar amount may not be paid. However in long term marriages, spouses may elect to reserve their right to ask for support in the future if a need arises.



Answer

It has nothing to do with the sex of the parties.
