Alimony and Support Matters: Navigating Financial Support After a Divorce
How a Family Lawyer Can Help
- A family lawyer can help guide you through the process of determining alimony and child support.
- They can ensure that all financial information is properly disclosed and used in calculating support payments.
- They can also advocate for your rights and interests in negotiations with your former spouse or in court.
- Additionally, a family lawyer can assist with modifications to support orders if circumstances change.
What is Alimony?
- Alimony is a court-ordered financial payment made from one spouse to another after a divorce or separation.
- It is intended to provide financial support for the lower-earning or non-earning spouse, and can be temporary or permanent depending on the circumstances.
Types of Alimony
- Bridge-the-gap alimony: a short-term payment to help the receiving spouse transition to being single
- Rehabilitative alimony: payment for a period of time to help the receiving spouse obtain education or training to become self-supporting
- Durational alimony: payment for a set period of time determined by the length of the marriage
- Permanent alimony: payment until the receiving spouse remarries or passes away
Child Support
- Child support is another form of financial support that may be ordered by the court in a divorce or separation.
- It is intended to provide for the financial needs of the child or children involved, and is paid by the non-custodial parent to the custodial parent.
- The amount of child support is determined by a formula based on the income of both parents and the needs of the child.
