FAQs

Got a question? We’re here to help.

  • How is alimony determined?

    Alimony is determined by several factors, including the duration of the marriage, the standard of living established during the marriage, each spouse's financial resources and earning potential, and contributions made by each spouse to the marriage (such as career sacrifices). The goal is to reach a fair and balanced solution.

  • Can alimony be modified after it’s been set?

    Yes, alimony can often be modified after it’s been set if significant changes in circumstances occur. Examples include a substantial change in the income of either party, changes in the health of either party, or changes in the financial needs of the party receiving support. It’s important to consult a lawyer if you're facing such a situation.

  • How long does spousal support last?

    The duration of spousal support varies widely. It can be set for a predetermined period, be reviewable after certain conditions are met, or, in some rare cases, continue indefinitely. Typically, the length of the marriage plays a crucial role in this determination, with long-term marriages more likely to result in longer periods of support. However, each case is unique, and a lawyer can provide the most accurate estimation for your particular situation.
