Alimony (also called spousal support or maintenance) is financial support that one spouse pays
to another. The alimony can come in a lump sum, over a limited period of time or indefinitely.
Because the laws vary from state to state, it is best to consult an attorney with questions about
alimony. Factors that the court may consider in determining alimony include the length of the
marriage and the ability of each spouse to earn a living.
In each particular case, the trial judge must consider various factors including the length of the
marriage, the cause for the dissolution of the marriage and for each spouse his or her age,
health, station, occupation, amount and sources of income, vocational skills, employability,
estate, needs and child care responsibilities.
Making the decision to end a marriage is difficult. As challenging as it sounds, it is in your best
interest to approach the divorce process from a rational, businesslike perspective. Working with
the Law Offices of Bruce E. Bergman will help you get through the process and begin your new
life.
