Paul F. Sherman Is The Right Portland Spousal Support Lawyer For You And Your Family

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. 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 experienced 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.

Whatever type of spousal support you are required to pay or need to receive, you need an experienced spousal support attorney to explain and protect your rights. Paul F. Sherman has over 35 years of experience representing families in spousal support cases, establishing original orders of spousal support and spousal support modifications. We are well aware of the complicated issues that may arise during these cases.
