Highlight
Comprehensive analysis under the Ruff-Fischer guidelines is emphasized over the disadvantaged spouse doctrine, which has been eliminated.
The district court must consider all the relevant factors under the Ruff-Fischer guidelines in determining spousal support, explaining its rationale for its determination.
Because of the interrelation, the district court may reconsider the property distribution when determining spousal support.
