Spousal Support

Spousal support or alimony is a payment ordered by a court from one spouse to the other as part of the divorce proceedings. There are many aspects about spousal payments that both spouses and their lawyers will want in their favor. It begins with a temporary spousal support order while the divorce proceedings are in progress. After that, everything from the amount and duration of the payments to enforcement may be aggressively contested.

Are you involved in a spousal support dispute or do you have questions that need answers? Our lawyers are here to guide you! Contact a divorce attorney near you as soon as possible for more information about obtaining legal representation in your divorce.

The major aspects of spousal support payments that a divorce attorney may have to contest are listed below:

  • Temporary Spousal Support Order
  • Final Spousal Support Order Amount
  • Final Spousal Support Duration
  • Modification of Spousal Support
  • Enforcement of Spousal Support

In the absence of a pre-nuptial agreement or other valid reason, courts will often grant support. The argument therefore boils down to the amount and duration. Both depend on the current earnings of the spouse getting the support, the lifestyle the couple maintained and the net worth and earnings of the spouse who will be making the support payments.

The support payments can be modified, which requires both parties to go to court again. This can happen if there are changes like health problems or retirement. If the spouse making the payments is behind on the payments or not paying at all, he or she can be taken to court and forced to pay just like any other debtor.

Would you like more information regarding spousal support? Our lawyers are here to help and to answer any questions you may have. Contact a divorce law attorney in your area today to learn more about obtaining legal representation in your divorce.
