Reliable Counsel in Connecticut Alimony Matters

Alimony decisions at the time of the divorce profoundly impact each spouse’s ability to pay their post-divorce living expenses. The court has the ability to award or deny alimony based on a number of considerations under the law, including the income, occupation, health and education of each party, the amount of assets, the contribution of each party to the breakdown of the marriage and the desirability of the custodial parent obtaining employment. Whether you are the spouse who may be paying alimony or the spouse who is seeking it, it is critical to have an experienced lawyer on your side to help ensure that your interests are protected.
