Spousal Support
Whether you are the main income-earner or the spouse seeking support in a divorce, the question of alimony and how it might affect your financial future can be daunting. And, unlike with child support, the State does not provide specific guideline amounts.
At A Fresh Start Mediation, the issue of spousal support, or alimony, is addressed as a part of the broader context of future financial stability for individuals and their families. Family law attorney Sue Brown uses mediation and collaborative practice to include consideration of both parties' earning potentials, ages, states of health, childcare responsibilities and living expenses in determining appropriate alimony amounts.
Contact Sue to discuss how mediation and the collaborative divorce process can provide win-win solutions to your alimony issues.
Future Financial Stability
In any divorce, both parties are concerned about their future financial picture. The good news is that creative combinations of property division and alimony can successfully address the different needs of both parties in ways that traditional approaches don't.
Because each couple's situation is different, allowing for the broadest range of options for securing financial stability for both individuals is important. Having the advice of an accountant or other financial advisor can also be invaluable in determining appropriate support amounts. Both of resources are available at A Fresh Start Mediation.
