The transition from married life to single life brings significant emotional and economic challenges. At Goodman Law Firm, we understand that questions about financial stability are often at the forefront of your mind during and after a divorce. Whether you are seeking to establish maintenance or facing a potential obligation to pay it, having knowledgeable St. Charles spousal support attorneys on your side can become essential to securing a fair outcome.
Spousal support, also known as maintenance or alimony, is not automatic in every divorce. In Illinois, the court must first determine if a maintenance award is appropriate based on specific factors outlined in the law. These factors include the income and property of each spouse, the length of the marriage, the standard of living established during the marriage, the realistic earning capacity of both parties, and more.
Once the court determines that maintenance is appropriate, state guidelines are typically used to calculate the amount and duration of the payments. However, these calculations can be complex, especially when variables like fluctuating income, business ownership, or tax implications are involved. Without an attorney’s assistance in this process, you may find yourself committed to unsustainable payments or ignorant of crucial tax implications.
