The purpose of this post is to help you understand what type
of analysis a court uses in determining whether a modification of spousal
support is warranted. Let’s use an
example.
I’m using the following appeals case of (In re Marriage of Shaughnessy (2006) 139
Cal. App. 4th 1225) as the example of how the courts apply law to a factual situation. This case is a good example of spousal
support because the couple has no children.
Therefore, you get a cleaner look on how spousal support law works.
