Spousal support, or alimony pendente lite, is typically intended to financially support the dependent spouse during divorce litigation. A formula was created by Pennsylvania lawmakers to streamline this process. However, there are certain circumstances that require stepping outside this formula and developing a plan as unique as your needs. By taking a close look at your financial needs and your spouse’s, we can help you understand which type of spousal support would be most beneficial to you.
Are You Entitled to Spousal Support?
Alimony is often a hotly debated area of family law. One or both spouses may feel the desire to be vindicated for any wrongdoing they feel has affected them. While we believe these emotions are often very real, they are not always based on facts that can be used when determining alimony. We are dedicated to giving our clients the respect and understanding they deserve as we help them make educated, practical decisions about their futures.
Alimony may be awarded after the divorce is finalized. Alimony is not awarded in all cases; the court considers many factors. To determine how to use these factors in a way that will cater to your best interests, you must retain an experienced family law attorney. At Standish & Conlin, we have worked with a variety of individuals as they navigate the complexities of alimony.
