What Determines An Alimony Award In Alpharetta
When a judge is determining how much money a spouse will pay for spousal support after a divorce, they consider several different factors. Our goal as your legal representation is to present the information that a judge is looking for, to make sure they have what they need to make an informed decision. Some factors of alimony include:
- How long the couple was married
- The age and number of any children in the divorce
- The earning capabilities of each spouse
- The income and assets that each spouse has
- The standard of living during the marriage
One element that can disqualify a spouse from collecting alimony is infidelity. Even in cases where both spouses were committing adultery, neither spouse will be able to collect alimony after a divorce. We take the time to review the details of these cases to ensure we have all the necessary information to go before a judge and persuade them to reach a decision that defends your best interests.
