Aspects of Maintenance We Assist You With
- If you are currently going through a divorce, your Golden alimony and spousal support lawyer can help you get temporary support. These payments can continue through the divorce. When the divorce is finalized, you can transition to another alimony type. Often, the transition is made to rehabilitative support payments. If you receive rehabilitative support, you’ll continue to get payments until you become financially independent. Thus, once you get a stable job, the payments will end.
- Reimbursement support is also an option. The judge might grant this if you paid for professional certificates or education expenses. This alimony allows the other party to pay you back and will end once you’re paid in full.
- Finally, there is permanent alimony. As the name suggests, this goes on forever. However, it’s only granted in exceptional circumstances. For instance, if you have a chronic illness or disability, you might qualify for permanent support.
- Consult with a Golden alimony and spousal support lawyer if you want to modify the agreement. The attorney can review your case to see if you’re eligible for a modification. If you are, your attorney can file the necessary paperwork.
Calculating Spousal Support In Colorado
Your Golden, CO, alimony, and spousal support lawyer can negotiate maintenance payments for you or represent you in court. If the case goes to court, the judge will consider various factors to determine your eligibility and the amount of the support order. First, you must have been married for a minimum of three years unless you meet specific requirements.
Then, the judge will consider the income of both parties, including the potential income. Other factors include employability, property distribution, child support payments, and lifestyle during the marriage. In addition, both parties’ age and health factor into the decision. Finally, the judge will determine if one spouse should provide support so the other could get an education and work.
