How does spousal support work?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Michael V. Fancher (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Seattle Divorce Services
Under Washington law, debt and spousal support are really two different things. Given that you have only been married two years, I doubt that the court would grant more than a few months of spousal support, if any. Property and debt are generally divided, though since your husband has more income, it might give a larger settlement to you, and it might require him to take on more of the debt. Please consult with an attorney in your area to find out more about what to expect, as well as ideas on how a settlement could be structured to address your concerns.

My wife filed for divorce but now she won’t sign the papers how long can the case sit idle before it is thrown out?

You can file a document entitled Memorandum to Set and the court will set a mandatory settlement conference and a trial date. That will get it over with.

Can I ask for spousal support if I have been separated for almost eleven years?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Jon Laurence Rathjen (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Law Office of Jon Rathjen
Given the relatively brief length of time you were together versus the eleven years since you separated I think a spousal support award at this late date to be unlikely. It would turn on whether you could convince a judge that it would be inequitable (=unfair) to allow someone in his superior economic position to avoid any responsibility to support you rather than have you supported by the state.
