Family Courts and Spousal Support Orders
Family court judges consider many factors when determining alimony or spousal support, including the length of the marriage, the occupations and income sources of each party, the number of children and the lifestyle maintained during the marriage.
While using these factors to determine whether support should be awarded, and how much to award, judges also have a broad range of discretion when making these decisions.
Given the unique nature of the alimony and spousal support system, it is important that you have an experienced advocate on your side who understands the system and will work to preserve your rights. Attorney Alan J. Pransky has nearly 30 years of legal experience in family law and can guide you through the complex process of spousal support.
