Las Vegas Spousal Support Attorney

About Spousal Support, Alimony and Rehabilitative Maintenance

Spousal support, often referred to as alimony or rehabilitative maintenance, is an amount of money that one spouse pays to another to maintain the standard of living established or enjoyed during the marriage. Any divorce may be rife with issues. Spousal support is one of these, as it may have a significant financial impact on both spouses for years into the future. Determining what amount of spousal support you may be able to receive or that you may be required to pay is a crucial matter to consider, and an attorney at our Las Vegas law firm can help you in either event.

Alimony or spousal support may be determined in two different ways. Spouses may reach their own agreement in an uncontested divorce, or the court will rule upon spousal support in a contested divorce. An out-of-court support agreement may be based upon the unique needs of each spouse and may therefore vary. When a judge rules upon a spousal support agreement, however, various factors may be taken into account: the length of the marriage, the age and health of each spouse, the earning power of each spouse, each spouse's contributions to the marriage, and the financial situation and possessions of each spouse.
