Put Experienced Maintenance/Alimony Lawyers On Your Side
Maintenance (also known as spousal support and formally known as alimony) can be awarded under certain circumstances. There is a formula for maintenance that applies to most middle-class families: 30% of the paying party’s income, minus 20% of the receiving party’s income, so long as this isn’t more than 40% of the combined incomes. There is also a guideline for how many years you pay. But if the guideline is unfair, whether because as the spouse needing maintenance, the guideline is inadequate, or because as the paying party, the guideline is excessive and unreasonable given your individual circumstances, you need an experienced maintenance attorney at your side.
Cooperation makes many aspects of the divorce process more efficient and less costly, but working with a lawyer who is willing and able to assert your position is critical to your success.
