If you are entering into divorce, you probably know that you and your spouse will have to divide the marital property. If you have minor children, you and your spouse will have to come to some kind of child custody and visitation arrangements.
But when it comes to alimony or spousal support, you may have no idea whether you will have to pay spousal support, or whether you will be entitled to recover spousal support. In fact, San Diego judges have a wide amount of latitude when determining whether or not to award alimony.
