New Jersey Alimony Lawyers
NJ Alimony and Family Law Attorneys
Alimony (often referred to as spousal support or spousal maintenance) is the amount of money paid by one spouse to the other, during the course of NJ divorce litigation and/or after a New Jersey divorce. An NJ alimony order is intended to allow both spouses to maintain a lifestyle comparable to that which they enjoyed during the marriage. The calculation of alimony takes into consideration a variety of factors. The goal is to limit the unfair economic effects that come with divorce. Without alimony, the lower-earning spouse would undoubtedly struggle more than his or her higher wage-earning partner -- leaving that spouse at a significant disadvantage. A seasoned NJ alimony lawyer can offer creative solutions so you can reach a fair and equitable alimony agreement.

Ability to pay
-
Health of the parties involved
-
Income of the parties involved
-
Capacity to earn
