Unlike child support, the courts consider a wide range of factors when determining a “fair” alimony payment in terms of amount and duration. Important here is to early and often stress to the courts the need for non-working spouses to get educated, get into the workforce and financially support themselves to their maximum ability. Whether your spouse simply needs to update her resume or needs an entire vocational assessment, the sooner that effort begins the sooner this goal is accomplished.

Unlike alimony (spousal support), the courts determine child support by and large with a rigid set of guidelines. We make sure that your income is accurately presented and that kept at the forefront is the legal requirement that both parents must financially support their children.
