SPOUSAL SUPPORT Once a divorce is finalized and life moves on, the last thing you want to experience is financial hardship. Alimony or spousal support is meant to provide financial assistance to the dependant spouse to enable that person to be self-supporting. The amount and timeframe of the alimony is determined by many factors, which can include: Length of marriage Health and education of the parties Pre-separation standard of living Age of the parties Disparity in income between the parties Lost earning capacity (i.e. when one of the parties sacrificed a career to be a homemaker/full-time parent) Expenses necessary to educate a spouse to become self-supporting when the party has been out of work (i.e. as a homemaker/full-time parent) Alimony is a key part of any divorce. Whether you need to know how to protect your future earnings or need to know how to ensure your pre-separation standard of living, you will require an experienced divorce attorney. I have the commitment and determination to work with you to devise and reach the goals you are hoping for when it comes to alimony.
