We Know How To Protect And Address Your Spousal Support/Alimony Concerns
Alimony and Spousal Support: When a couple divorces, many complicated issues must be discussed. At the forefront of these concerns is financial support, commonly referred to as alimony. Often, the spouses are on unequal footing with regard to finances. In these situations, the court may award one party alimony/maintenance by considering several factors including: each spouse's income and expenses, the standard of living during the marriage, the length of the marriage, whether there are children residing with either or both spouses, age, earnings ability and capacity, and training and education to become employable.
Temporary Support: Temporary support insures that the bills are paid and that each spouse has sufficient resources to meet day-to-day expenses until the divorce is resolved. The recent No-Fault-Divorce Reform Act of 2010, includes key changes to the temporary support law. We are fully familiar with these changes and will use our knowledge and experience to protect your temporary support concerns.
Support Modifications: In certain situations, it is possible for a party to request a modification of a current support order. There are also several ways to seek enforcement of spousal support when alimony is not being paid. Our experienced attorneys understand the law and what it takes to prosecute and defend applications to modify and enforce spousal support.
