Protecting Your Rights

The law concerning spousal support in New York and New Jersey is not a simple black-and-white matter. There is no clear bright line test to determine whether support is required, the amount of support and the duration of support.

Practically speaking, court has tremendous discretion to determine if alimony will be awarded, as well as the amount and the duration of the award. They may award alimony on a temporary basis or a permanent basis. Although state law provides guidelines (income, education, etc.) that judges must consider, the final decision of any judge is ultimately determined by the evidence at hand and the ability of an attorney to properly place that evidence in a context favorable to their client.

Our attorneys have helped many clients obtain or oppose an award of alimony. To give our clients the best opportunity for success, we conduct a thorough discovery process, attempt to negotiate a fair resolution that protects our client’s interests, and advocate aggressively at trial when a negotiated agreement is not possible.
