[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Original poster here. Thanks to all who have responded so far, but I'm really looking for concrete examples/figures if you feel comfortable sharing about how the spousal support you ended up with (via settlement or court) compared to the pendente lite guidelines (26% of payor's monthly gross income). And for what duration of time did you receive those payments?

Thank you.[/quote]

This is a type of question which your attorney can task an associate with (to check legal data base) [/quote]

She won’t get a straight answer out of an attorney bc there are so many variables it’s impossible for them to say, especially if you go to court.  Every case is different, settlements are all across the board. My attorney gave me a wide range of what she thought might happen in court(based on her 20+ years of experience)  but would always caveat that with, “it depends on the judge” and then she’d cite the 12 or so factors that a judge is required to take into account, including your need and your ex’s ability to pay.   She said that if I went to court, it could be anywhere between $2000 to $3000 a month.  Pendent lite was right around $2300.  I settled at $2250 a month. [/quote]
