Are you paying alimony? Need alimony? You’ll need support from an alimony lawyer. Call 248 Lawyers and see what law thinks of your case.
During a divorce or separation, a Michigan court may require either party to pay for support for your spouse. This spousal support is called alimony. Alimony requires that financial support is paid to a spouse that is considered “in need” of the alimony. Many people who have divorced will find themselves paying alimony. During this process, things that are considered “in need” are things such as spouse X being required to pay spouse Y’s personal property expenses. Paying alimony is always decided by the courts and they consider many factors. These factors include:
- The ability of either party to pay
- The character and situation of the parties
- The past relations and conduct of the parties
- The length of the marriage
- The ability of the parties to work
- The ages, needs, and health of the parties
- The fault of either party in causing the divorce
Usually, alimony is ordered for a specific length of time. However the court can order spousal support to continue indefinitely or until a specific event occurs, such as the remarriage or death of the spouse receiving support.
