An Informative And Attentive Approach To Spousal Maintenance
Unless the parties agree to it, in general, the judge cannot order the payment of spousal maintenance (a/k/a spousal support or alimony) as part of the decree unless there is some incapacitation, or the need for education or training to return to employment. If one person left a lucrative career to take care of the family, the person may need to be retrained for employment. If that is the case, the court may order a limited period of support for retraining purposes only.
Spousal support orders generally lapse when the payer of that support dies or the person receiving spousal support remarries. Recent changes in the tax laws have also affected spousal maintenance. At the Law Offices of J. Douglas Angel, we take the time with you so you understand the nuances of spousal maintenance. We can confidentially discuss these matters during your divorce or afterward.
