Unlike child support, spousal support is often very difficult (if not impossible) to modify after the divorce is final, so getting it right the first time is a must!
does anyone know if you get more for spousal support under the grounds of adultery ( I live in South Carolina)? Also, what forms of proof is required by the courts...other than PI.
thanks answer guy. I live in South Carolina and I have been told that proof will greatley increase the amount at a divorce hearing. Why are the PI's in business if this does not matter in the courts?
You need a PI OR a disinterested 3rd party to prove adultery . Fault would have more of an affect on the person asking for alimony , a lesser or no award if the person requesting it were at fault for the break-up of the marriage . Fault is a consideration for whether or not support is ordered but shouldn't really effect the amount but it COULD effect the duration of any award . The amount depends more on the assets/income of the person that would be required to pay .

Could this PI be the same person whom the woman had paid to arrange for a "prostitute" to seduce her husband? If not, could the "disinterested party" be someone like a motel clerk who observed the behavior of this phony prostitute and her "mark", who's wife was paying for him to be set up for a big score in divorce court?
I thought this kind of vileness went out with the advent of no-fault divorce, and was one of the main arguments for it!
