Johnson County Spousal Support Lawyer
Many divorcing couples have unrealistic expectations about spousal support (also known as maintenance or alimony). At the law office of Weston R. Moore, Attorney at Law, in Olathe, Kansas, we offer a free initial consultation to discuss your case.
In Kansas, whether you are entitled to receive (or are obligated to pay) spousal support will depend on statutory factors such as:
- The length of your marriage
- Whether one party stayed home to care for children or contributed to the other's party's education
- The age and health of the party receiving alimony or support
- Whether one party has a need for temporary or permanent support
- The earnings or earnings potential of the party receiving spousal support
- The earnings or earnings potential of the party paying spousal support
Unlike child support, which can be determined by a formula once the facts are inputted, the amount of spousal support awarded in a divorce can vary from judge to judge. As a result, it's important for your lawyer to know as much about your situation as possible to help you obtain a fair outcome.
Even if you are entitled to receive spousal support based on the statutory guidelines, the amount must be in line with what your ex-spouse can afford to pay.
At the law office of Weston R. Moore, Attorney at Law, in Olathe, Kansas, we will help you focus on the facts that can make a difference in your spousal support case. He won't encourage you to litigate a case that you aren't likely to win.
