Maintenance and Alimony
Maintenance, formerly known as alimony, is spousal support from one spouse to the other spouse, potentially paid both during and after the divorce proceeding. While maintenance has a statutory formula, there are other factors taken into consideration when determining the amount and duration of maintenance. We understand that whether you are receiving maintenance or paying maintenance, it is important that you are fully advised of how this is calculated and how to plan your finances moving forward.
After separating from my husband of sixteen years, I had no idea how I would support myself financially after we stopped living together. Julia broke down the numbers for me and answered every question I had as we planned for my finances post-divorce.
We understand that issues involving finances are personal and sensitive. We approach each client with patience and honesty to help explain the laws regarding spousal support as well as how to plan for these changes after your divorce.
