Asked on Jan 06th, 2016 on Divorce - California
More details to this question:
The 45 year old wife has not worked during the 19 years of marriage (due to legal residency status). One year previous to the divorce, the wife studied a master’s degree abroad paid by the husband. The wife earned her degree and started a part-time job working in a university, she started making about $1800 per month after taxes, just before the divorce. Would hiring a vocational evaluator help in reducing spousal support and by how much?

I can't say how much it would reduce spousal support but it will certainly have an impact on how much you will pay. I strongly suggest you get a lawyer to help you through this because how you approach and handle it is very important. If you can't afford a lawyer for the entire case, you can hire a lawyer for limited scope representation on this one issue. A vocational evaluator should absolutely be retained in your case.
