Protecting Your Interests During Alimony Disputes
Whether you are requesting spousal support or you are fighting the request, we are knowledgeable of a variety of ways to protect your interests. The court will evaluate a number of factors to determine whether any type of alimony should be granted including:
- Length of the marriage
- Property and assets held by each spouse before marriage
- Income of both spouses
- Conduct of the spouses during marriage
As your alimony lawyer, we will persuasively represent your interests in divorce negotiation or in court. Our experience in helping clients with alimony issues means that we are prepared to deal with any alimony issue that you are facing. We work with clients to understand the differences between child support and alimony, including the tax implications.
Success in Modifying Alimony Awards
Post-divorce modification of alimony may be granted in certain circumstances. If the paying spouse loses his or her job, the court may allow the alimony to be modified. The receiving spouse may have changed circumstances, such as a new marriage or a new job, that eliminates the financial dependency on the alimony, and the award may be modified.
We work to help you petition the court for an alimony modification. We will explain the ways to modify an alimony award and advise you of the likelihood of the modification. We provide you with clear information so that you can make well-informed decisions about your future.
