Maintenance

One of the most commonly contested issues in divorce litigation, maintenance (formerly known as alimony) can mean the difference between achieving financial stability and struggling to make ends meet. Finding an attorney who understands how Courts will apply statutory factors when determining maintenance is critical to ensuring your rights are protected.

Maintenance, like many issues, is seldom completely resolved when the divorce decree is entered. Often circumstances arise in post decree situations where maintenance can be adjusted or even terminated, and many settlement agreements or judgments designate maintenance as reviewable when specific conditions are met.

At The Law Offices of Andrew J. Hauser, Ltd., we help you understand how the statutory factors apply to your unique situation. While we always attempt to resolve these issues by reasonable settlement to avoid unnecessary litigation expenses, we will also vigorously defend your rights in the event a settlement cannot be reached. We also review changes in circumstance in post decree settings and explain your rights as they relate to issues of maintenance.
