Spousal support in Virginia can be set up in a couple of different ways. The two main types of spousal support are temporary spousal support and permanent spousal support.
When creating a permanent or ongoing spousal support award, there are various options. You can have regular payments over time, a lump sum payment followed by a smaller stream of payments, or just one lump sum payment.
The more customized an agreement you want, the more beneficial it would be to settle your case and reach that custom agreement. You can always request a specific arrangement from the court, but if you go to court, it’s more likely you will receive the traditional stream of payments.
