Case Rating: *
In Minnesota, spousal support (also known as alimony) is determined based on several factors such as the financial resources of the spouse seeking support, the time necessary to acquire sufficient education or training, the standard of living established during the marriage, and the duration of the marriage.
There isn't a "max" amount for spousal support as it's based on the circumstances. To justify spousal support, focus on your ex's financial needs, your ability to pay, and the factors mentioned above. Is your financial situation stable enough to support both child and spousal support?
