A common concern people have when contacting me is whether or not they will receive alimony, also referred to as spousal support
Either person in a marriage can request alimony and it may be paid for a very specific period of time or it can be paid indefinitely. Sometimes it is paid on a temporary basis to help a person get back on their feet during the divorce process.
It is something that can be agreed to by you and your husband or wife. It can also be granted by a court if you are involved in a court case. However, it is not granted lightly by the court.
The Judge who hears a case involving alimony looks at many different factors in deciding whether it is fair to award alimony in a specific situation.
