What Is the Purpose of Alimony?
Provide Financial Stability After Divorce
When a divorce creates a significant income gap between spouses, alimony helps prevent sudden financial hardship. It allows both parties time to adjust to new financial realities.
Address Unequal Earning Capacity
The Judge may award support when one spouse earns substantially more or has greater future earning potential than the other spouse. Alimony helps balance that disparity, especially when one spouse paused a career during the marriage to take care of the family unit.
Support a Fair Transition Forward
Alimony is not a punishment or reward. Instead, it’s a temporary or ongoing measure tied to need and ability to pay. Georgia courts look at what’s reasonable based on the length of the marriage, contributions, and current circumstances.
Our Spousal Support Services in Atlanta
Evaluate Alimony Eligibility
We assess whether alimony is likely to be awarded under Georgia law. This includes reviewing income, earning capacity, and the length of the marriage. We’ll also set clear expectations before negotiations or court proceedings begin.
Calculate Financial Support Amounts & Duration
Our Atlanta attorneys analyze financial records to determine appropriate payment amounts and time frames. We focus on numbers that reflect real income and long-term protection.
Negotiate Alimony Agreements
We work to resolve spousal support issues through thoughtful negotiation whenever possible. Clear, well-structured agreements can reduce conflict and future disputes.
Represent Clients in Court
When alimony is contested, we present financial evidence and legal arguments clearly and effectively. Our goal is to secure outcomes that align with Georgia law and the facts of your case.
Modify Existing Alimony Orders
If circumstances change, we help pursue or challenge alimony modifications, if those options are available in the client’s case. This includes job changes, retirement, health issues, or other shifts that affect financial resources or abilities.
Enforcing Alimony Payments
When payments stop or fall behind, our Atlanta alimony lawyers take steps to enforce existing court orders. We also defend clients facing unfair enforcement claims.
Protect Your Financial Future After Divorce
The divorce process ends a marriage, not its financial consequences. Take control of your alimony outcome before decisions become permanent.
