Chalfont Alimony and Spousal Support Lawyers
Dedicated Family Attorneys Help People Receive Alimony and Spousal Support They Deserve
When you and your spouse decide to seek a divorce, it is understandably an emotionally charged time. However, ending a marriage also involves resolving financial issues between you and your spouse, including the issue of alimony and spousal support. Alimony and spousal support are payments made by one spouse to the other after the couple separates, during the divorce proceedings, or after the couple’s divorce is finalized. The purpose behind alimony and spousal support is to ensure, when one spouse has a greater earning capacity than the other spouse, that both spouses can enjoy a roughly similar standard of living following their separation or divorce.

Frequently Asked Questions about Alimony in Chalfont, PA
In Pennsylvania, the types of spousal support you may be entitled to depend on the status of your divorce. If you and your spouse are separated but have not yet filed for divorce, you both may agree that one spouse will make spousal support payments to the other while you are both separated from one another. Once you and your spouse have filed for divorce, either spouse can petition the court for an order of alimony pendente lite, which is temporary spousal support paid during the divorce proceedings. Once your divorce is finalized, the court may order alimony, either based upon the agreement of the parties or if the court finds that alimony is warranted. Alimony can be temporary or permanent, or may be terminated under certain conditions.
If the conditions under which your alimony order was issued have changed, you may be entitled to petition the court to modify or terminate alimony or spousal support. A party receiving alimony may be able to increase payments if he or she has lost a job or if his or her living expenses have materially changed. A party paying alimony may be able to reduce or terminate his or her obligation if he or she has lost a job or had a significant reduction in earning capacity, if he or she has had a material change in financial circumstances (such as needing to care for a family member), or if the recipient of alimony has gotten remarried or is cohabitating with a non-family member.
