Don’t Worry. The Law Offices of Demetria L. Graves Can Help.

Unlike child support, the provision of spousal support (sometimes called alimony) may or may not be required, depending on specific circumstances. Generally speaking, in cases involving long-term marriages the court will order spousal support, either on a permanent or temporary basis. Even if the court would ordinarily require spousal support, the parties can negotiate an alternative arrangement.
In your situation, you may wish to achieve a settlement that includes spousal support, or you may wish not to. At the Law Offices of Demetria L. Graves, I can review your situation and help you make the decision that is right for you.

What Should I Do Regarding Spousal Support?
Deciding whether you should seek spousal support involves financial, practical, and personal concerns. For example, spousal support is tax-deductible for the payer, and taxable for the receiver. You may be better off in the long run by negotiating a more favorable property settlement rather than seeking spousal support, or you may decide that spousal support is the right answer for you.
I am attorney Demetria L. Graves, and I have helped many people achieve the divorce settlement that is right for them. I can explain the tax and practical considerations in your case and work to achieve the settlement that enables you to move forward with your life to a strong financial position.
If Your Circumstances Have Changed: Modifications
If your settlement involves spousal support, you can seek a modification in the support level if a significant change in income or circumstances occurs. At the Law Offices of Demetria L. Graves, I can help you seek a modification in spousal support.
