The Arizona divorce lawyers at Corso Law Group in Scottsdale know that when it comes to spousal support in Arizona, having an experienced family law attorney on your side can make a big impact on the final outcome.
Understanding the scope of alimony or spousal support in Arizona is important when it comes to the divorce process, according to the experienced Arizona family law attorneys at Corso Law Group, as is hiring an attorney well-versed in family law for any Arizona divorce case.
“The question of spousal support is often one of the most difficult issues people face when they are involved in divorce or legal separation proceedings,” said John M. Rhude, Esq., founding partner of Corso Law Group. “It’s important to arm yourself with a divorce lawyer who will fight for your rights.”
In Arizona, alimony is often referred to as spousal support and spousal maintenance. Spousal support is an area of family law which uses complex calculations to determine need (if any), the amount to be paid and the duration of support to either spouse.
Simply put, spousal support is the amount of money one spouse pays to the other spouse to support them – usually for a determined length of time. Spousal support is intended to assist a spouse in meeting his or her reasonable needs when those needs cannot be met through employment or property.
When seeking spousal support in Arizona, the family law attorneys at Corso Law Group are available to put their experience to work to ensure their clients’ interests are represented in court.
“Spousal support may be awarded to a husband or wife in Arizona for any of a number of reasons,” Rhude said. “The amount and duration of support is usually determined by the court
and is assessed on a case-by-case basis, which makes having an experienced lawyer on your side very important.”
There are several factors considered when determining the amount of spousal support to award:
– The ability of the spouse to provide for his or her reasonable needs through employment or property.
– The age or condition of children for whom the spouse is the caregiver. – The length of time needed to re-educate for the workforce.
– The duration of the marriage.
– The standard of living during the marriage.
– The age of the spouse and his or her ability to become gainfully employed due to age.
