WILL MY EX GET SPOUSAL SUPPORT IF HE WAS DENIED DISABILITY?

QUESTION: Will my ex get spousal support if he claims he is disabled? My husband has filed for soc sec disability and was denied. I want a divorce because of his infidelity. Can he collect spousal support from me?

MY ANSWER: He may likely get Spousal Support from you if he has a disability that truly renders him unable to work.

If he was denied Social Security Disability, it may be because he is not disabled.

You could seek (and pay for) a vocational evaluation of him in an effort to get the Court to impute income to him.

His infidelity is not an issue that the Court would address, since we have no-fault divorce in California.

You would best be represented by an experienced Family Law Attorney if you intend to oppose your husband's request for Spousal Support.
