The paper aims to provide empirical evidence on impact of family domain (family support and spouse support) on work-life balance of full time professional working mothers in telecommunication and academic sectors. The structured questionnaire was administered among 90 working mothers representing from both sectors in Kathmandu Valley. The study followed descriptive and analytical research design. Correlation and regression analyses were carried on to test the proposed hypotheses. The statistically significant positive impact of family support and spouse support was found on work life balance of professional working mothers under the study. Family support and spouse support enhance the professional working mothers to become highly committed to their job or work devoting considerable time and effort to their career role and work-life balance.
