So He Gets to Cheat — and Now I Have to Pay Him Spousal Support???

Spousal Support or Alimony are provisions often made during the course of a divorce proceeding.

Courts will order such support to a spouse if arguments can be made that the party has become accustomed to and dependent upon a lifestyle per the acts of the other party.

The standard, in many cases, is not about who was at fault — it is about lifestyle, dependency, and the length of the marriage. That can feel deeply unfair when you are the one being asked to pay.

There are different strategies and arguments that can be made in order to prevent the award of spousal support or alimony — but you need to make them at the right moment, with the right evidence, and through the right counsel.
