Spousal Support / Alimony

In Massachusetts, numerous pertinent factors are considered in the award of alimony or spousal support. Alimony may be awarded on a temporary or a permanent basis and is more likely to be awarded for longer term marriages.

We can help determine whether alimony is appropriate and, if so, what amount of spousal support should be awarded. When alimony has been awarded either through agreement or by court order, we can work with clients to modify spousal support in appropriate circumstances.
