St. Augustine Spousal Support Lawyer
Each spouse contributes to the strength of the marriage in his or her own unique way. Some spouses are strong financial contributors, while others are may devote their efforts to the support of a family business, the other spouse's career or the upbringing of the family's children.
When a marriage ends, these unique contributions may not leave each spouse with the funds that the efforts deserve. Alimony can help balance that equation.
At the Law Office of Nina R. Price, PLLC, our Jacksonville alimony lawyer has over a decade of experience helping divorcing couples secure alimony arrangements that meet their needs. We understand the challenges that divorce can create financially and the importance that a well-crafted alimony arrangement can play in helping one household successfully become two.
What Will the Court Look at to Determine If Alimony Is Appropriate?
Alimony is not automatically a part of every divorce. The court will look to such factors as:
- Length of the marriage
- Income of the parties
- Employability
- Need and ability to pay
- Contributions to the marriage
Types of Alimony
Once the court has determined that alimony is appropriate in your case, it will decide what type of alimony is needed:
- Bridge-the-gap alimony — to help you bridge the gap from married to single life
- Rehabilitative alimony — to help a party get back on its feet, perhaps to secure a degree or professional certification (this can include living expenses)
- Durational alimony — for a set period of time following a divorce, but cannot be longer than the length of the marriage
- Permanent alimony — is designed to maintain the standard of living that was established during the marriage, and is generally only available in long-term marriages
