Spousal Support and Maintenance in Massachusetts
An Experienced Divorce Lawyer at RA JAWORSKI PC Is on Your Side
In Massachusetts, almost every spouse can be affected by alimony, also known as spousal support or spousal maintenance. Will you receive or have to pay alimony as part of your divorce settlement or decree?
Much depends on the specifics of your marriage, such as:
- Length of marriage (i.e. the longer you've been married, the greater the chance alimony will be awarded)
- Station during marriage, or the general lifestyle to which you've become accustomed
- Income ability as reflected in education level and work experience
- Health issues or any other serious problems that may impact your ability to work
There are general alimony formulas, but no absolutes in Massachusetts. The best way to receive a clear-cut answer regarding alimony in your divorce is to contact an experienced attorney.
