    Default Re: Spousal Support After a Long-Term Separation

    Although it's not entirely dispositive, if the couple has been separated and living independently for six years with no financial support during that time, there is a significant chance that a court will deny the petition. The best thing to do is to have the case reviewed by a family lawyer for advice not just in relation to support, but also for other issues such as the division of assets and retirement accounts.
