Spousal Support-Alimony Calculator Information

Information needed to calculate alimony or spousal support

The calculator determines spousal support based on individual county guidelines (which may vary) and provides the guideline or temporary alimony payments. The calculator factors in each specific county guideline where your divorce case would be filed in California.

Primary Factors for Spousal Support

How To Use the Spousal Support Calculator

2. If you wish to consider permanent support, consider all relevant factors provided under Family Code Section 4320.
3. Going forward, keep detailed financial records of your monthly transactions related for purposes of spousal support. This would include payments made on account of monthly expenses and all amounts received as income for the month.
