The issue of spousal support, or alimony, is a difficult subject that comes up in many divorce cases. Alimony creates a debtor/creditor relationship between you and your spouse and leaves a lasting connection between both of you until the obligation for alimony ends.

There are several types of alimony: temporary (during the divorce case), rehabilitative (to enable a party to become retrained, educated, and self-sufficient), bridge-the-gap, permanent, and lump sum. A party may be entitled a combination of these types of alimony, depending upon one party's need for alimony and the other party's ability to pay alimony.

Many times, we must take an in depth look into the parties' actual income and available assets, the marital standard of living, and other complex issues. We will work with a forensic accountant to help us get the most detailed information needed to resolve the issue of alimony though mediation or litigation.
