Oftentimes in a separation and divorce, one spouse is in need of financial support from the other spouse. Unlike child support, there is no formula used to determine the amount of alimony to be paid or the length of time that alimony is paid and/or received. Each case involving alimony is different and should be determined on a case by case basis. This is an area that is difficult to navigate without the help of an experienced attorney. Contact Ann D. Maready, Attorney at Law to learn more about alimony. Give her a call at 910-333-9595.
