if you’re in a long-term marriage or
0:06
even a short-term marriage and you were
0:08
out of the workforce for uh 10 years 15
0:12
years whatever it may be in terms of the
0:14
length of the marriage you’re definitely
0:16
going to be entitled to spouse support
0:18
because you have to be rehabilitated you
0:21
have to be educated whatever skills you
0:24
had 10 or 15 years ago chances are
0:26
they’re Obsolete and even if you have a
0:29
skill that can be used such as you were
0:31
a lawyer before you got married you’ve
0:34
been out of the system 15 years you’ve
0:36
been out of it for 10 years you’re lucky
0:38
if you can get a starting salary as
0:41
opposed to what you would have been
0:42
earning over the course of those 15
0:44
years so that has to be taken into
0:46
account in terms of spouse support as
0:49
well as division of marital assets maybe
0:51
you should get more assets and more
0:53
spouse support because you need to
0:55
rehabilitate yourself
