Frequently Asked Questions
We know family law can feel overwhelming—and sometimes, just getting clear answers makes all the difference. Below you’ll find thoughtful responses to the questions we hear most often, designed to help you feel informed, prepared, and empowered as you move forward.
How does a judge determine if one party is entitled to receive (or the other party must pay) alimony?
A judge must find that one spouse is a “dependent spouse,” and the other spouse is a “supporting spouse” who has the ability to pay alimony. The judge will then consider the statutory factors and other relevant circumstances to determine whether an award of alimony is equitable.
