Daytona Beach Alimony Lawyer
Spousal Support Lawyer in Daytona Beach
"Alimony" and "spousal support" are both terms used to describe the financial support ordered by a court by one spouse of another following a divorce. If one spouse is financially disadvantaged and the other spouse has the ability to pay, spousal support may be awarded. A
Daytona Beach divorce attorney can review your specific circumstances and advise as to the best course of action in pursuing alimony. Many factors are considered in the determination of whether or not it should be awarded and the amounts involved. These can include:
- The duration of the marriage
- The age and physical and emotional condition of each party
- The non-financial contributions of each party to the marriage
- The standard of living established during the marriage
- The financial resources and all sources of income available to each party following the divorce
- The projected time involved in either party reestablishing their career or income earning capability
