Strong Counsel in Matters involving Alimony
We will help you determine whether an award of alimony is appropriate or necessary and, if so, the amount and length of payments. Unlike child support, there are no straightforward guidelines for either eligibility for alimony or to determine the amount.
We will carefully examine the factors we know the court will most likely consider, including
- the length of your marriage
- the age and health of the parties
- the standard of living to which the parties are accustomed
- the potential earning capacity of the parties
- the need of the parties
- the ability of the parties to pay support
Because there are no concrete standards for determining alimony, your lawyer can have a significant impact on how much alimony is granted and whether it is temporary or permanent. With our extensive trial experience, we can advocate for your interests in court. We can also employ alternative means of dispute resolution, including negotiation, mediation, arbitration or a collaborative approach, to help you successfully settle an alimony dispute.
