Spousal support or Alimony, is an issue whenever there is a significant difference in personal income or earning capacity between the parties. Spousal support is designed to provide money for living expenses regardless of gender. The spouse making support payments will be entitled to a tax deduction. The spouse that receives support will pay federal and state income taxes on the award. Spousal support must also be considered in calculating Child Support.

There are generally three types of Support:

• Spousal Maintenance
• Transitional spousal support
• Compensatory support

The existence, amount and duration of monthly support payments will be determined by the court in a contested setting or by the parties in the form of a settlement agreement.

Courts make determinations regarding spousal support after considering many factors such as the length of the marriage, the standard of living during the marriage, as well as the age, health, earning capacity and job histories of both individuals. It is important to have these issues evaluated by an experience spousal support attorney from the outset of your case, or whenever there has been a substantial change in economic circumstances that justifies a reduction or termination of spousal support.
