Florida Alimony Lawyer
When couples decide to end their marriage, financial concerns are often one of the most pressing issues to be resolved. In some cases, one party is granted spousal support, financial assistance designed to allow that person to maintain the lifestyle he or she became accustomed to during the marriage.
My name is Faith Z. Lodder. At my full-service family law practice, I help clients throughout southwestern Florida obtain alimony or challenge unreasonable support requests. Visit my office in Sarasota to discuss your specific situation.
How is Spousal Support Calculated?
Whereas child support is calculated by specific guidelines, spousal support is determined by the court on an individual basis. The court considers several factors when contemplating temporary or permanent support, including:
- The length of the marriage
- The age and health of both parties
- Income discrepancies
- Education of both spouses
- Work history
I have experience with all types of spousal support, including lump sum and bridge-the-gap alimony. As your divorce lawyer, I will strive to reach an amiable resolution with the other party. However, if an agreement is not possible, I will be prepared to protect your interests in the courtroom.
Handling All Aspects of Financial Support
Spousal support can significantly impact your life. I can explain the tax implications and other factors relating to this type of financial assistance during a confidential consultation. My goal is to find a solution that allows you to move forward in the best possible financial position.
