New York Alimony, Support or Maintenance Attorney

Anyone who has been through a divorce knows that one of the most contentious issues faced by couples is the determination of spousal support or alimony: the amount paid to a former spouse before, during, or after a divorce is finalized. Even the mere idea of support can cause resentment for both sides. You may be wondering:

• Am I eligible for alimony or spousal support?
• How much can I collect to supplement an income?
• Will I be obliged to pay support after a divorce?

We can help you protect your rights. Call 212-747-0200 or contact us by email today.

It is important to remember that alimony or support is not always a given. The amount of alimony and duration of payments can also vary depending on the individual situation faced by the parties. Unlike child support determinations, which are calculated based on a statutory formula, the courts have much more discretion in making alimony determinations.

The court is likely to consider:

• The income of both parties
• The education and opportunities of each party
• The duration of the marriage
• The current standard of living
• Any agreements the parties had regarding division of labor
