NYC Bar Wants Changes to Spousal Support
Posted on Nov 29, 2011 2:55pm PST
The New York City Bar Association is reportedly recommending changes to
spousal support laws. According to reports, they want to calculate temporary spousal maintenance in a different way in order to benefit low-income residents. The past law based the temporary spousal support off the needs of the spouse with the lower income, but now it will be based on a mathematical equation involving the paying spouse's income.
