Massachusetts Alimony Lawyer

Defining Transitional Alimony

Transitional alimony serves a similar purpose to rehabilitative alimony in that it is designed to help the payee spouse achieve self-sufficiency. The main difference is that doing so does not rely on educational issues or returning to the workforce. It can be used in a number of circumstances, for example where a spouse moved away from their home state for a short term marriage that then failed. They may need financial assistance to return home and reestablish their income and financial security. Transitional alimony may not be an option if the marriage lasted longer than five years. A Massachusetts alimony attorney can help you determine whether or not you may qualify.
