Freehold, New Jersey, Alimony Attorneys

When couples say their vows, they rarely imagine their marriage ending in divorce. In fact, this blissful optimism frequently causes them to avoid drafting pre-nuptial agreements. This situation, however, can lead to emotionally-draining alimony disputes should the marriage eventually fail.

At the Law Offices of James M. Newman and Associates, LLC, our lawyers have handled hundreds of complicated family law cases and have extensive experience helping clients secure alimony. At the same time, they have also helped many clients avoid paying spousal maintenance to financially independent ex-spouses.

Looking to Obtain Alimony?

Our attorneys will take the time to help our clients understand the legal concept of alimony and answer any questions they may have. We have extensive experience in the local court system and fully understand the factors used in determining eligibility for alimony.

A few of these factors include:

• Whether the marriage lasted at least 10 years
• Whether the spouse turned down educational opportunities to raise children
• The extent of the spouse's reliance on the former spouse's income
• Whether the spouse provided any valuable services to the marriage

The court also carefully examines the age and health of the person seeking alimony, as well as their income level. This helps determine if he or she can go back to school and eventually start a new career. Depending upon the client's exact situation, we can attempt to negotiate for temporary alimony. These funds provide a client with the means to pay for legal representation.
