Spousal Support Lawyer in Silver Spring
Alimony is generally defined as financial support given from one spouse to another after their marriage has been dissolved. In Maryland, either spouse can be eligible to receive financial support from the other after the divorce. Depending upon your situation, you could be entitled to receive some sort of economic support from your ex-spouse. If you have questions about alimony and what part it will play in your divorce, please don’t hesitate to contact one of our experienced and knowledgeable Montgomery County alimony lawyers at Nickelsporn & Lundin. We know that you could have concerns about your financial stability after your divorce. Let us help you.
Alimony can be rewarded in several ways in Maryland. It can be rewarded as temporary support, rehabilitative support (until the receiving spouse can support him or herself) or it can also be indefinite. Whether you receive alimony is based on evaluation of several questions, including the following:
- Are you able to support yourself?
- What was your standard of living during the marriage?
- How long did your marriage last?
- What is your physical/mental condition?
- What is your age?
- Do you have a prior agreement relating to alimony?
- What were the circumstances leading up to your divorce?
