Alimony Attorneys in Miami

Experienced Miami Spousal Support Lawyers

When you and your spouse get divorced, you may be concerned about being able to support yourself after it has been finalized. Whether you were the one being supported by your spouse or you were the sole wage earner, discuss your situation with a Miami family law attorney from Mitchell & West LLC. Family courts may consider a variety of different factors to determine if alimony will be granted and how much should be granted.

The court may consider the following factors when determining the need for alimony:

  • Each party's ability to support themselves
  • Each party's ability to pay the support
  • The length of the marriage
  • The standard of living in the marriage

There are a number of different types of alimony which may be awarded:

  • Lump sum alimony: a certain amount which is paid one time and cannot be modified
  • Rehabilitative alimony: a plan where alimony is awarded for a certain period of time
  • Durational alimony: alimony which is awarded in long-term marriages for a certain amount of time
  • Bridging the gap alimony: alimony where one spouse requires assistance to get back on their feet
