An alimony attorney, or spousal support lawyer, is a type of family law attorney who focuses on representing clients involved in spousal support cases, which are most often pursuant to divorces. Legal battles to modify or rescind support orders can also take place many years after a divorce, however. These attorneys provide legal advice, guidance, and representation throughout the process of establishing, modifying, or terminating spousal support. They may assist their clients in:
Determining their exact obligations
Negotiating support agreements
Advocating for their interests in court
Seeking modifications to existing support orders
Helping ensure orders are enforced when necessary
A quality alimony attorney can work closely with you to build a strategy that results in the greatest possible outcome for your spousal support case, whatever that might be in your particular circumstances.
