Alimony is no longer an automatic part of the divorce settlement. However, it may still be awarded on a temporary or permanent basis for the support of either spouse. Spousal support can include cash or property, payable in a lump sum at the time of the divorce, or over a set period of time.

The courts also look at the standard of living set during the marriage and the time required for either party to acquire sufficient education or training to enable full employment, among other considerations. Alimony is not always granted as part of the divorce settlement. Your attorney can help you achieve the results for which you are looking. Rely on Warner Bates for professional, experienced advocacy.
