A: In California, a husband can choose to support his wife during the separation period. There is no automatic spousal support process for separated couples. Your wife will have the option of going to court and asking that a judge order spousal support.
California Guidelines The calculation takes 40% of the higher earners income and subtracts 50% of the lower earners income from that 40%. The higher earner is then responsible for that difference.
Support lasts the reasonable amount of time it would take for the spouse to become self-supporting. The longer you were married, the longer its assumed this will take. The judge starts with some basic assumptions: For marriages less than ten years, support will last half the length of the marriage.
Court Retention of Jurisdiction The automatic legal rule, triggered by a divorce after 10 or more years of marriage, is that the court retains jurisdiction. This means that the court can continue to monitor the lives of the spouses. As facts change, the court may modify its original orders.
