Philadelphia Alimony Attorneys
Resolving Questions About Alimony and Spousal Support
It seldom happens that divorcing spouses each have the same income and earning capacity. At Berman & Asbel, we advise clients about the best ways to arrange for the support of a dependent spouse during a period of separation, the period between the divorce petition and the final decree, and a fixed or indefinite period following the judgment of divorce.
Contact a family law attorney at our office in Media to learn how our experience with the resolution of alimony issues can help you, whether you're the spouse paying support or the one collecting alimony.
Spousal support can be awarded as a matter of right before the final decree
Our lawyers advise divorce clients in Greater Philadelphia about their alimony rights and obligations in situations such as:
- Separate maintenance rights prior to divorce
- Alimony pendente lite (APL, during the divorce case itself) to assure each spouse of the ability to support living and legal expenses
- Disputes as to the award, amount, duration or conditions of alimony after the divorce is final
- Effect of prenuptial or postnuptial agreement terms on alimony or interim support rights
- Effect of misconduct during the marriage on the right to alimony or support
- Tax consequences of alimony and spousal support arrangements
At Berman & Asbel, our experience with alimony issues under a wide range of circumstances allows us to make an informed analysis of what a family court judge would likely rule in your case, and use that assessment as the basis for negotiating terms that meet your needs.
