Alimony- Cleveland, OH

Are you or someone you love dealing with alimony concerns?

Do you feel as though your ex owes you alimony?  You may be right!  Alimony is a type of spousal support paid each month to sustain a “way of life” that couples become accustom to during marriage.  The purpose of alimony is to make sure that the spouse that is a lower wage earner or non wage earner doesn’t suffer from unfair economic effects.

There are very broad guidelines that determine whether or not alimony is to be awarded. If it is awarded, a judge will determine how much and how long will you receive it.  Alimony payments only stop in the case of re-marriage of the receiving party, death of either party, or special circumstances ordered by the court. In Cleveland, alimony may be paid to either spouse. How much and for how long is dependent on several factors.

Keep in mind that you are not guaranteed to receive alimony. Your spouse can fight this and make it more difficult for you to receive payment. In a situation like this you can go back to court in a contempt proceeding in attempts to force the other spouse to pay.
