Alimony Frederick, MD

Every marriage dynamic is different. If there is a dispute or settlement between two parties during divorce, the court can intervene to find the best solution. One key issue in marriages where one party generates the majority of the income is alimony.

Alimony, also known as spousal support, is an amount regularly paid by one party to their ex-spouse after the divorce. The purpose is to give the recipient a chance to build or move on with their life. It can be difficult for some to find employment after years of not working during the marriage.

Several factors can affect the amount of alimony paid and how long it will be effective. Some cases allow the recipient ample time to get the education or training to find employment. In most cases, you can go through alimony mediation to reach an agreement without the court.

Amendments can be made if the situation changes. Changes in the income or another significant life event in one or both parties can affect the alimony payments moving forward. For example, the alimony payments can be terminated if the recipient finds employment.
