Re: spousal support

Ms. DOnaldson did not respond to your inquiry. If you are asking whether you are eligible for spousal maintenance, it appears based on the facts you provide that you are eligible. It is your burden of proof to show you do not have appropriate employment to sufficiently support yourself. Once you do, then the court will decide what amount is appropriate. There are spousal maintenance guideline calculations we can discuss if you like. Feel free to contact my office for additional information.
