Atlanta Spousal Support Attorney

Alimony and Spousal Support

Spousal support, also referred to as alimony, is one of the many legal issues typically arising during a divorce or legal separation. Legal matters involving spousal support can be complex and challenging on a financial and emotional level. At Gordon & Gordon, we are devoted to providing our clients with personal attention and dedicated representation in the face of these situations. To ensure we have more time and resources to dedicate to your particular case, we take on a limited number of cases. We strive to provide only the highest quality representation and service every step of the way.

One spouse may be ordered by the courts to pay the other spouse a specific amount of money following a divorce, unless waived by both parties. Spousal support may be ordered to be paid either in one lump sum or on a temporary or permanent basis by a family law judge in the state of Georgia. Spousal support is separate from any type of child support order. An Atlanta divorce lawyer can assist you with all matters pertaining to spousal support.

Whether or not spousal support should be paid and how much will be paid may be determined by the following:

• How long the marriage lasted
• Reasons for divorce
• The income of each spouse
• Occupation of each spouse
• The division of assets
• If each spouse is self sufficient
• Needs that must be met
• Heath of each spouse
• Age of each spouse
• Accustomed standard of living during marriage
