Divorce Attorney Provides Information on Alimony Support
Divorce can be a very sad, bitter, and complicated process for everyone involved. Most married couples probably never foresee a split with their partner when they set out to start a life together. Unfortunately, for nearly 50% of American couples, the distant thought of a divorce becomes a reality. Upon filing for divorce, most people are concerned about how to divide their assets, child support, and what they will owe their spouse.
While the way a court determines alimony is not set in stone, many judges will follow a similar formula for calculating how much spousal support your ex will receive. There are many factors that may be taken into consideration when determining alimony in Michigan including the following:
- Income
- The Ability of the Party to Pay Spousal Support
- Standard of Living
- Length of Marriage
- Health
- Needs
- Children
- Ability to Work
