Spousal support is a significantly difficult issue for couples facing a divorce, even more difficult than child support issues in many cases. If you are facing a divorce that will involve spousal support — whether you expect to be the paying spouse or receiving spouse — you need to know what will happen in the court. You need an advocate with experience to help you understand the process and protect your interests.

We will give you an honest and accurate assessment of your situation and provide you with personalized representation throughout the process. At Jeffrey A.

Spousal Support Considerations
Our main function as your attorneys in a spousal support proceeding is to protect your financial interests. One of the most important ways we do this is through solid preparation. We take everything into account when preparing for spousal support negotiations:
- Assets: High-asset divorces will play out differently than other divorces. We want a solid understanding of the wealth positions of both parties, including business interests, retirement plans, properties and investments.
- Prenuptial agreements: If you and your spouse signed a prenuptial agreement, the court is likely to consider it binding to both parties. We can help you dispute or support a prenup to protect your financial interests.
- Bankruptcy: Obviously, if one or both of the parties in a divorce are bankrupt or in the process of filing for Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy, it will change the landscape of the negotiations. As lawyers who practice both family and bankruptcy law, we are well-positioned to help you through this issue.
