What Is Spousal Support?
Spousal support, also known as alimony, is a payment made by one spouse to the other in order to help the recipient spouse avoid financial hardship.
Whether the amount is determined through settlement, mediation or litigation, having an experienced and skilled Martinsburg alimony attorney on your side can help you obtain the outcome you desire.
Types of Spousal Support in West Virginia Include:
- Temporary spousal support – Payments made during the divorce process
- Permanent spousal support – Payments which lasts as long as possible for the recipient spouse to maintain support for himself or herself
- Rehabilitative spouse support – Provides financial assistance for the recipient spouse to get back to work
- Spousal support in gross – A set amount of payments for a determined period of time
What Is Alimony Based On?
Spousal support is determined based on the needs of the recipient spouse and the paying spouse’s financial capability to provide support, as well as a myriad of factors from the marriage. Whether or not one spouse was at fault for causing the end of the marriage, receiving alimony doesn’t necessarily involve merit or punishment. Each case is unique, and there is no statewide guideline or formula. Having experienced trial counsel in Berkeley County can be critically important to the outcome.
