Spousal Support (Alimony) differs from Child Support in that it is not automatically granted. Rather, it is designed to allow the supported spouse to maintain the lifestyle to which they have become accustomed.
A skilled mediator and negotiator, Mr. Carnohan will work vigorously to resolve issues relating to Spousal Support via settlement negotiations. If the parties are unable to reach an agreement during this process, Lawyer Joe Carnohan possesses the experience necessary to take the matter to trial.
The period of time for which Spousal Support may be ordered will be based upon the length of your marriage. Short term marriages (generally less than 10 years) may result in an order of Spousal Support not to exceed the number of years you and your spouse were married. With respect to long term marriages (10+ years), Spousal Support is typically owed to the supported spouse until they either remarry or upon their death.
Numerous factors are taken into account when setting an order for Spousal Support. These include but are not limited to the following:
- Financial Needs of the Supported Spouse
- The Supported Spouse’s Employability & Earning Capacity
- The Obligor Spouse’s Financial Ability to Pay Spousal Support
- The Ages of the Spouses
- The Overall Health of each Spouse
- The Financial Support Provided to the Obligor Spouse while He or She Obtained an Education
Prior to entering into negotiation agreements to determine the issue of Spousal Support, the court may issue a temporary order for support, thereby allowing the supported spouse to maintain their standard of living during divorce proceedings. If the issue is taken to trial, please be advised that the court has significant leeway when entering a judgment for Spousal Support. As a result, it is imperative that you hire a skilled attorney who will fight to safeguard your rights and possesses extensive experience handling Spousal Support cases.
Spousal support may be modified at a later date if one party is able to successfully prove that a change in circumstances has occurred, requiring the need to modify the previous order. Examples include the following:
- Either the Obligor Spouse or the Supported Spouse has been Diagnosed with a Long Term Illness
- Either Party has Received an Increase or Experienced a Decrease in Pay
- Either Party has been Laid Off or Lost their Job through No Fault of their Own
- Spousal Support is not designed to provide for a standard of living exceeding that which the parties enjoyed while married.
