New York alimony lawyer

Divorce, child custody, child support and alimony can be highly emotional and traumatic issues. No one wants to be involved in legal disputes with their spouse or other loved ones but sometimes it is impossible to avoid this.

Alimony refers to the amount of money that one spouse must pay the other for support and maintenance after the dissolution of marriage. A court order determines the amount of support one spouse must provide the other following divorce. Alimony is intended to uphold the standard of living both spouses had during the marriage. The amount and duration of spousal maintenance depends on such factors as: the length of marriage, the age of each spouse, the health of each spouse, the ability of each spouse to be self-supporting, the income of the primary breadwinner and the standard of living the parties enjoyed during the marriage.
