Spousal Support & The Mythical Ten Year Rule
by Law Offices of Rod Firoozye
I was recently listening to a radio morning show when one of the listeners raised the issue of spousal support and the so-called "Ten Year Rule." This listener recommended that a previous caller divorce his wife before ten years, otherwise because of the "Ten Year Rule," he would have to pay her alimony indefinitely. Immediately, numerous other callers began calling about this rule and stating their understanding of it. I was quite surprised about the local audience's misconceptions about this matter and spousal support in general.
