There are several
factors to consider when seeking spousal
support (alimony), such as:
|
| • |
How
long were the parties married? In
a short term marriage, there may be
an award of temporary support. For
a long term marriage, there may be
a short term arrangement during the
divorce action, with a support award
for a number of years after divorce
depending on length of marriage and
other circumstances. |
| • |
Are both
parties working? |
| • |
What are
the parties' incomes? |
| • |
What are
the parties' overall financial situations?
|
|
| Our office can
also provide assistance for issues that
arise after the divorce. For example, if
you already pay spousal support, you may
need to modify it if your work situation
or income has decreased. If you receive
alimony, you may also need to request a
modification if your personal circumstances
have changed. We can also assist you in
reducing alimony arrears to judgment in
order to receive payments for such support. |
