What is the likelihood of any change in the very low levels of payment and receipt of spousal support in Australia? This working paper examines what is happening, what is likely to happen, and what should happen. Data from the Australian Divorce Transitions Project, a random telephone survey of 650 divorced Australians was used to measure the incidence, duration and amount of spousal support payments or receipts and to examine respondents' attitudes about whether, and for how long, spousal support should be payable. The paper identifies legal and policy implications of these findings and suggests further research agendas.
