WILL I HAVE TO PAY SPOUSAL SUPPORT TO MY HUSBAND?

QUESTION: I have been married 30 years and separated for 5. I have a job, but my husband is unemployed. Will I have to pay him spousal support?

MY RESPONSE: You may have to pay spousal support to your husband, under those circumstances. However, you should at least consult with, if not retain, an experienced Family Law Attorney to represent you, because it may be possible to impute income to your husband, or the attorney may be able to obtain an order that your husband submit to a Vocational Evaluation by a Vocational Training Consultant, with a view to imputing income to your husband.
