Spousal support, as it is now commonly called, has in the past been known as \"alimony\". Spousal support is not mandatory in most states. However, if the circumstances are such that a spouse will face hardships if he or she does not receive financial support after the divorce, than spousal support should be considered. The deciding factor regarding spousal support is the need to maintain the spouse at his or her customary standard of living. In other words, the law recognizes that a wife (or husband) should not be forced to live at a level below that enjoyed during the marriage.
[...]
Child support payments take precedence over spousal support. However, there is no firm dollar figure that is used for spousal support. This amount should be decided by both parties to the action. The amount payable can be up to 40% of the paying spouse\'s net income after deducting child support, less 50% of the amount of the supported spouse\'s net income if the supported spouse is working.
