Worried about making ends meet after separating from your spouse? Call Attorney Howell Today

Worried about making ends meet after separating from your spouse? Call Attorney Howell TodayChoosing to leave a loveless marriage is often a heart-wrenching decision. Even if there’s no love left between the two of you, you still have history together, which likely included many good times. Ending a relationship is often the healthiest choice, but it can still be incredibly difficult – particularly if you rely on your spouse for financial support.

But you don’t have to resign yourself to being destitute after separating from your spouse. Your ex still has an obligation to make sure your basic needs are being met, even if you’re about to be divorced.

According to California law, alimony may be required either temporarily or permanently to help the lower-earning spouse maintain their accustomed standard of living on their own.

If you’re worried about making ends meet after separating from your spouse contact Attorney Torrence L. Howell about securing a fair alimony agreement. The best way to ensure your basic needs will be met following a separation is to secure an alimony order ASAP following a separation from a spouse.

How is alimony determined?

You’re probably wondering how much alimony you can expect to receive. This amount varies dramatically depending on the financial circumstances of each divorcing couple. When one spouse can’t feasibly maintain the standard of living experienced during the marriage, and the other spouse is financially able to help, alimony may be awarded. The key factors that determine the amount of alimony are:

  • Length of the marriage
  • Individual contribution of each spouse to the marriage – not just financially, but also in terms of childcare and homemaking contributions
  • Individual financial resources including non-marital assets and marital assets
  • Spouses’ age and health status

My ex-wife hired an attorney which prompted me to do so for our divorce. Torrence Howell was highly recommended from a friend of mine who used Torrence’s services for a divorce just like mine. The results came out much better than he ever thought it would. With all things being equal I felt Torrence would
