Alimony and Spousal Support Lawyer in Utah
Alimony is possibly the most hotly contested topic in a divorce proceeding. Emotions are high, the pain is still fresh and it's easy for the heat of the moment to get in the way of sound decision making. It is at times like these that the help of an experienced attorney can be extremely beneficial.
Fighting for a Fair Alimony Settlement
The initial alimony settlement is based on the circumstances that existed at the time of your divorce. Among the considerations in determining alimony are:
- Financial need of the recipient
- Payor's ability to pay
- Both spouses earning capacity
- Length of the marriage
- Child custody
- Contributions by one spouse to the other's education or career advancement
Modification to Alimony
If, over time, there is a significant change in circumstances for either the payor or the recipient, a request for modification may be made to better represent the current situation. Significant change in income for either spouse, cohabitation or remarriage of the recipient spouse, loss of a job or retirement of payor may all be considered in modification requests.
