A Dedicated and Personal Approach to Spousal Support and Alimony
The attorneys at Burney & Reese understand that the pursuit of spousal support and alimony is very a delicate and personal matter. There are several factors that a court considers when determining if an award of alimony and spousal support is appropriate, and if so, how much is appropriate. Those factors are as follows:
The duration of the marriage;
The standard of living established during the marriage;
The age and the physical and emotional condition of both parties;
The financial resources of each party;
Where applicable, the time necessary for either party to acquire sufficient education or training to enable him/her to find appropriate employment;
The contribution of each party to the marriage, including, but not limited to, services rendered in homemaking, child care, education, and career building of the other party;
The condition of the parties, including the separate estate, earning capacity, and fixed liabilities of the parties; and
Such other relevant factors as the court deems equitable and proper.
