Albuquerque Spousal Support Lawyer
If you are going through a divorce, it is important to carefully consider the possible impact of spousal support. Whether long-term or temporary spousal support, there are a number of factors that need to be considered. Attorney PJ Hartman will take a close look at your situation and help you understand how your divorce will be affected by spousal support or alimony.
Unlike child support, spousal support is not mandatory. This award is discretionary in that the judge has a lot of leeway and subjectivity to base an award. This can be risky to either party. Whether you are participating in a collaborative or a traditional divorce, attorney Hartman will help you analyze the various options and ramifications of spousal support as it relates to your individual set of facts.
Types of Spousal Support or Alimony are:
- Transitional Spousal Support
- Rehabilitative Spousal Support
- Lump Sum Non-modifiable
- Open-Ended
Attorney Hartman will discuss the relevance of each of these types of awards.
The court will consider a number of factors when they make a judgment regarding spousal support. These include:
- Income of the parties
- Length of marriage
- Division of assets in the divorce
- Income earning potential
The firm of PJ Hartman works with a variety of financial experts and professionals who help them do projections. They carefully analyze the disparity of income, marital assets, and many other factors to determine the appropriate form and amount of spousal support.
