Alimony

Charlotte, North Carolina Divorce and Alimony Lawyers

Troy & Watson

Unlike child support, spousal support ("alimony") is not determined by any set formula. Rather, reasonable decisions on spousal support are made on a case-by-case basis. Factors such as the length of a marriage, the needs of the dependent spouse, and the income of the provider spouse all come into play when courts approve alimony agreements.

However, an experienced divorce attorney can help you predict how alimony will figure into the overall picture of division of assets, child support, and other aspects of your divorce settlement.

At Troy & Watson, P.A., in Charlotte, North Carolina, our experienced attorneys will explain the sixteen factors taken into account by North Carolina divorce courts, including marital misconduct, earnings, age, income, assets, needs, and education of each spouse; the duration of the marriage, and tax ramifications of various forms of alimony.

With this information in hand, our lawyers make every effort to ensure that reasonable amounts of alimony are paid or received, per our clients' rights and responsibilities.
