Seeking spousal support or alimony in a divorce is often done where there is a large disparity in earning power between spouses, an underlying medical or health condition restricts the earning of income or one spouse must dedicate themselves to the care of children. While determining
child support remains one of the main issues in a divorce it is often the question of spousal support or alimony that is the most contentious. The negative feelings and factors that led to the divorce are more likely to surface on the issue of spousal support and can require the utmost in ability for a
Massachusetts divorce attorney to resolve.
Often these issues can be resolved with your divorce attorney but when they cannot be brought to a mutual agreement then the spousal support will be decided by the Massachusetts Family Court. Some of the many things that are considered in making a determination are:
- How long have the parties been married and their general behavior in the marriage
- What are the respective ages of each of the spouses
- Factors such as health, medical conditions, occupation and income
- Also the earning capacity based upon education and job skills
- Future opportunities, such as asset growth or estates, for income
- The court may also consider the contribution each spouse made to the accumulation of assets
- Child raising considerations
