The Determination Of Spousal Support In Divorce
Alimony in Divorce
Spousal maintenance — also known as alimony — is available for the purpose of ensuring that a non-earning or low earning spouse is able to continue living the lifestyle he or she was accustomed to during the length of the marriage.
In Colorado, spousal maintenance can be ordered in divorces where one party is unable to fully support himself or herself during the divorce or after the marriage. Issues of whether a spouse is eligible for support or whether a spouse is capable of paying are often contentious.
For spouses seeking spousal support or spouses who believe they should not be required to provide payments, it is crucial to understand their rights. The first step is speaking to an experienced attorney about the factors that determine spousal support.
