New Jersey Alimony Lawyers
Seeking The Spousal Support You Deserve
Alimony, otherwise known as spousal support, is designed to correct uneven economic circumstances that may result due to a divorce. At MR. Men’s Rights Divorce & Family Law of New Jersey by Schultz & Associates, LLC, our New Jersey alimony lawyers know that the issue of alimony is often contested regardless of whether you are the intended recipient or whether you may have exposure to pay alimony or spousal support to your spouse. Determination of alimony or spousal support is based upon 12 factors as set forth in the New Jersey alimony statute. Our New Jersey alimony lawyers understand the intricacies and complexities that have a bearing on the type and the amount of alimony or spousal support that include, but are not limited to, the following:
- The actual need and ability of the parties to pay;
- The duration of the marriage;
- The ages and physical and emotional health of the parties;
- The standard of living established in the marriage and the likelihood that each party can maintain a reasonably comparable standard of living;
- Earning capacities, educational levels, vocational skills, and employability of the parties; and
- The equitable distribution of property and any payouts on equitable distribution.
Reality of Alimony Today
The trends in alimony or spousal support in New Jersey are changing constantly. Determining or resolving the issue of alimony is not a straightforward analysis and is very fact-specific to your situation. In marriages where one spouse requires vocational training or education to become self-supporting, or if one spouse earns significantly less than the other, alimony will most likely be a factor and an issue in the divorce.
As New Jersey alimony lawyers, we will discuss with you the alimony factors and the interplay among them, as well as the likelihood of the paying spouse’s compliance and what steps you can take to ensure receipt of the alimony and, if necessary, enforcement of the alimony payment should your spouse stop paying. If you are the spouse paying alimony, our New Jersey alimony lawyers can assist you in devising a beneficial installment plan that suits your financial needs.
