Spousal Support and the Law

In cases involving marriages of 20 years or more in which one spouse has not worked, the Court will typically order spousal support. In cases involving shorter marriages, spousal support may be permanent or temporary, and sometimes it will not be necessary at all. Court-mandated spousal support, like child support, can be modified due to a significant change in circumstances.

Courts mandate temporary or permanent spousal support in some cases. In other cases, the spouses negotiate the inclusion or exclusion of alimony as a part of their final divorce settlement. Tax considerations can make these decisions much more complicated.

Barry Fischer, Attorney at Law, has represented clients in divorce and alimony matters for over 20 years. Our firm will carefully analyze your situation and work to achieve the best solution for you. You may wish to achieve a settlement involving a one-time payout of assets rather than a long-term commitment to paying alimony, or vice versa. Our firm can explore these options with the goal of protecting your rights, supporting your wishes, seeking justice for all parties, and helping you make a successful transition to life after marriage.
