Why Should You Hire David Lederman?

Upon separation, the court may award temporary spousal support to one spouse to help maintain financial stability during a challenging transition. The amount of support granted will be determined according to legal guidelines and will consider various factors, including both spouses’ incomes, living expenses, and additional circumstances that may affect financial needs. It’s essential to understand that the earliest date the court can issue a spousal support order is when the requesting party files a motion for support, which can impact the overall financial outcome.
