Fairfield Alimony Attorney

Westport Divorce Lawyer

One of the most highly contested issues in a divorce is alimony. Sometimes called spousal support, alimony is the amount of money paid by one spouse to the other to provide for the continuation of their daily life functions. However, alimony payments are not always ordered in every divorce case. The courts view each situation individually, assess the needs of the parties and make a determination regarding the amount of alimony to be paid. In Connecticut, there are various factors considered in determining alimony. See the below list.

Our lawyers at the Law Firm of Victoria T. Ferrara, P.C. are committed to helping clients deal with their divorce matters and issues, such as alimony, that stem from the divorce. Contact us today to schedule an appointment to discuss your divorce and alimony concerns.

Factors Important in Determining Alimony Payments

There are many different factors that are examined by the courts when determining how much alimony an individual is entitled to, such as:

• Age of the parties
• Health of the parties
• Length of the marriage
• Employment potential
• Income potential
• Monetary contribution of the parties
• Fault in the marriage
