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!
Okay to make this easier I'll need to give some background. My boyfriend married his wife then she went to prison 3 days after the wedding. Then after getting out after four months slept with someone else right after he signed the divorce papers in October of last year then left his wife's residence. Now after not hearing from her for an extended period of time she sends him an e-mail stating that she is filing for spousal support. Does she have a case? Does he need to be in California for the hearing? (we live in Washington state). What things will we need to fight this? Any advice would be really welcome. Thank you for taking the time to read through this, and even more if you answer to it.
