Arizona Alimony Lawyer
Spousal support in divorce is an area of the law that depends greatly on the discretion of the family law court that handles a marital dissolution. There is no standard formula that determines how much, if any, spousal maintenance a husband or wife should receive after a divorce. In Arizona, as in other states, family law judges will take into account such factors as the length of the marriage, the ability of each spouse to earn a living and the degree to which one spouse or the other sacrificed his or her career options for the sake of the wage-earner of the two.
Contact an experienced divorce attorney at the law offices of Gillespie, Shields & Associates, P.A. to schedule a consultation regarding spousal support (alimony) and your planned or pending divorce. We will most likely advise against entering into a settlement agreement including non-modifiable spousal support. Financial circumstances of either spouse can change, rendering an alimony agreement unfair.
