Cincinnati Spousal Support Attorney
When one spouse earns a significantly higher income than the other, the higher-earning spouse may be required to pay alimony to the lower-earning spouse.
Unlike child support, there are no guidelines courts are required to follow when determining whether to award spousal support, and the amount of payments due. Instead, courts base their decisions on the facts of the case. For that reason, it is important to hire an experienced lawyer who understands the law and knows how to develop the facts in your favor.
At the law office of Eric L. Anderson, LLC, we help clients throughout the Cincinnati area get the financial support they need to move forward with their lives after divorce. We also help ensure clients aren't stuck paying more spousal support than is necessary to their ex-spouses to become self sufficient.
Temporary And Permanent Spousal Support Attorney Serving Fairfield And The Surrounding Areas
In Ohio, alimony, or spousal support, may be awarded as part of the divorce process. Ohio courts see alimony as a rehabilitative tool, meant to help the lower-earning spouse get back on his or her feet and become financially independent.
When determining whether to order support, the duration of the support — temporary or permanent — and the amount of the support to be paid, courts look at a variety of factors, including:
- The age and health of the spouses
- The education and work history of each spouse
- The length of the marriage
- Each spouse's earning abilities
If one spouse gave up his or her career to care for children, or supported the other spouse's education, courts may take those factors into consideration as well.
