Offering trusted guidance through complex alimony issues

As you go through a divorce, you may need to address the issue of whether one spouse should provide financial support through alimony, also called spousal support. This can be a difficult process, and the amount of alimony one spouse needs to pay is dependent on a number of factors. To ensure that you get the most out of the process, work with an experienced alimony lawyer at The O’Neil Law Firm in Hartford, CT. We carefully guide you through the complexities of the law governing spousal support so you know what to expect as you work through your divorce.

Know the issues affecting the amount of alimony you may receive

The amount of spousal support you receive or pay can significantly impact your financial health well into the future. The following are factors that may impact your alimony agreement:

• Current income. One of the first factors considered in this process is the amount of money each spouse earns. If one makes significantly more than the other, that party may be required to pay alimony.
• Income potential. Due to decisions you made as a couple over the years, one spouse may have achieved higher levels of education and employment than the other.
• Age. If one of the parties going through a divorce is of an advanced age that impacts the ability to find gainful employment, the other spouse may need to help support that person financially.
• Length of marriage. Generally, marriages that have lasted for many years result in one spouse needing to pay alimony to the other. However, even marriages that only last a few years may be subject to a spousal support agreement.
