Parsing Out Expenses: Child Support vs Spousal Support
Some expenses will overlap when calculating child and spousal support awards. The Virginia Court of Appeals recently decided that spouses seeking support do not necessarily have to apportion every category of expense as supporting either spouse or children. According to the Court, some expenses are indivisible by their very nature. The determination of spousal and child support depend on the facts of each individual case, but examples of indivisible expenses might be Internet service fees, household utility fees and auto repair costs.
