Spousal Support

Chicago, Illinois Alimony Lawyer

Spousal Support ◦ Alimony ◦ Spousal Maintenance

One issue that is frequently argued throughout the course of a divorce is money. Whether it is in relation to child support, alimony, or how a couple's assets will be divided, you want the assistance of an experienced divorce attorney on your side to ensure your best interests are being preserved.

Attorney Van A. Schwab has a wealth of experience from which to draw from when handling alimony cases. These are often emotionally charged matters in which the sides are aggressively fighting for what they believe to be theirs. Alimony is a highly contested issue that may have a drastic impact on your life after the divorce.

There are many factors that are considered by the court when attempting to determine if alimony is warranted in a case, and if so, how much alimony should be granted. Some of the factors include:

• Length of the marriage
• Financial resources available to both parties
• Your contributions to the marriage
• Standard of living throughout the marriage
• Age and condition of both spouses
• The education, work experience and earning capacities of the parties

The above factors are not the only factors the court takes into consideration. After hearing your case, the court may have other ideas regarding the aspects of your life that may affect the amount of alimony you do or do not receive. We can help you determine the answers from a planning perspective. Attorney Schwab and our legal staff fights hard to ensure that if spousal support is applicable, it is ordered in the appropriate amount and for the appropriate amount of time.
