Wellesley Alimony/Spousal Support Attorney
Mass. Spousal Support Lawyer
Most professionals believe that they are not entitled to alimony/spousal
support. However, spousal support is often decided on the income differential
between former spouses. Feldman Family Law, in Wellesley, Massachusetts,
is dedicated to ensuring that individuals whose lifestyle is affected
by divorce receive spousal support as part of the divorce decree.
Knowledgeable Wellesley Alimony/Spousal Support Lawyer
There are many situations where women or men have significant income, and
yet may be entitled to spousal support. Some of those situations include
sacrificing career advancement to care for children, maintaining an accustomed
standard of living, and one spouse earning significantly more than the
other. Most alimony determinations are made on economic grounds. However,
judges weigh seventeen different factors when making spousal support decisions.
When spousal support is negotiated as part of a separation agreement, payment
can be worked out in a variety of ways. The traditional method is monthly
payments for a specified period of time. However, spousal support payments
can be negotiated in the same fashion that property settlement issues
are negotiated. Alimony can also be worked into property settlement agreements,
can be made in lump sum payments, or it can be paid in any other way agreeable
to both parties.
Working with my Clients
Many of my clients are professionals, and may only need a lump sum payment
to help them restart their lives, while others may have sacrificed their
careers for their family and need long term support. I understand that
every situation is different and that either the husband or the wife may
have specific needs that dictate the most effective way of receiving spousal
support. I take the time to understand my client’s situation then
help negotiate spousal support that is appropriate for his or her situation.
