Factors that contribute to the awarding of spousal support.
When determining spousal support, the courts consider several factors, including:
- Length of the marriage
- Needs of the parties
- Income and/or earning capacity of the parties
- Financial obligations
- Health and/or age of the parties
How much and how long?
These are questions that frequently arise when discussing the amount of alimony that is to be paid. Our firm can help you determine the answers from a planning perspective. We fight to ensure that if spousal support is awarded, it is ordered in a manageable number for a manageable amount of time.
Assistance with spousal maintenance during the divorce process.
Interim periodic spousal support is often awarded and is continued up until the divorce is finalized. This is called spousal maintenance, since it allows a spouse to maintain their life style until an agreement on more permanent alimony can be reached.
Whether you are the spouse seeking spousal support or the spouse that is expected to pay alimony, our firm can assess your case and help you determine the possibilities for determining the proper amount to be paid. We also represent clients in modification and/or enforcement of alimony orders.
