Address Spousal Support Matters

Alimony, which is also known as spousal support, is a discretionary part of a divorce. While it is common, not all divorces include alimony. In determining whether or not alimony is appropriate to a particular divorce, the court will look at a variety of factors, including:

• Financial need
• Ability to pay
• Length of marriage
• Marital standard of living
• Income earning potential

Ensuring that awards of alimony as well as the amount of alimony awarded are appropriate to the given circumstances is often essential to both spouses being able to establish themselves financially and their new households following a divorce.

Determining alimony can involve negotiation when appropriate. In some instances, a spouse may trade an asset such as his or her interest in the family home to avoid alimony obligations. Our attorneys are skilled negotiators and litigators who understand how to advance and protect our clients’ best interests.
