Alimony / Spousal Maintenance Attorneys – Birmingham, Alabama

Alimony, also referred to as spousal support, is an important part of divorce proceedings. The process involved with seeking and obtaining alimony can be quite complex, and the assistance of an experienced family law attorney can be quite valuable.

We have successfully represented clients on both sides of these (often  times) hotly contested issues. Whether you are seeking support or you are the spouse who will pay it – we have the experience and skill to secure the best outcome possible in your case.

What Are The Types of Alimony / Spousal Maintenance?

There are three types of alimony that the court may choose to award in an Alabama divorce:

Alimony in gross: Sometimes used to settle property division disputes, such as one spouse buying out the other’s marital share of an interest in a privately held business.

Periodic alimony: Can be awarded to a spouse in a long-term marriage who has given up his or her career to care for the children and home.

Rehabilitative alimony: Typically used on a temporary basis while the recipient is in transition to self-sufficiency.

How Is Alimony / Spousal Maintenance Calculated?

There are a number of factors that the courts will consider: 

  • Ages of each spouse
  • Earning capacity of each spouse
  • General health of each spouse
  • How long the spouses were married
  • Income levels of each spouse
  • Standard of living that was established during the marriage

We work hard to present the strongest case possible in support of our clients, and pursue every available option in an effort to resolve the matter in a way that provides  you the most benefit.
