As a New Jersey Alimony Lawyer, I am often asked what people should know about alimony and spousal support.
- In cases where a large disparity exists between the incomes of divorcing parties, courts may order one spouse to pay alimony to the other.
- Aside for the income disparity, several other factors affect the calculation of alimony – including the couple’s lifestyle during the marriage, the dependent spouse’s needs, and the paying spouse’s ability to pay.
- The length and amount of alimony are based on many statutory factors, and an attorney can guide you in understanding the process.
