Spousal support, also known as alimony or spousal maintenance, is a common point of contention in divorce proceedings. In Wisconsin, spousal support is determined by different factors, including the length of time the couple was married, the amount of money each spouse is able to earn, and the standard of living experienced during the time the couple was married. Depending on what a spouse thinks they are owed for maintenance or what they believe their spouse is owed for maintenance, tensions can run very high when it comes to the topic, leading to disputes of various shapes and sizes. Suppose you are involved in a spousal support dispute. In that case, it is essential to retain the services of a competent lawyer, as this will ensure you know your rights and options as you look to achieve a favorable outcome in the dispute.
