Alimony | Raleigh Divorce Lawyer

The payment for maintenance and support of a dependent spouse that has recently gone through a divorce is called alimony. This payment can be offered in one lump sum or it can be offered in continuing payments, each month.
Alimony is paid to the dependent spouse by the supporting spouse. In other words, the spouse that made the most money in a marriage is considered the supporting spouse.
While the amount of alimony that is paid out varies, depending on the situation and other matters involved, it is usually based on necessity. The court will decide what is deemed necessary.
The amount of alimony, and whether or not it’s necessary can become a very difficult battle. It’s often a good idea to hire a Raleigh divorce lawyer to help you through this situation. If you’re interested in talking with our lawyer about divorce, alimony and other matters in family law, contact us, today.
