Paternity
Spousal Support
Alimony is the payment of support from one spouse to the other. The court considers numerous factors in determining the amount and duration of the alimony, but primarily these factors are the ability of the one spouse to pay and the need of the other party, along with the length of the marriage and the lifestyle of the parties during the marriage. With lengthier marriages, the alimony may be permanent so that it lasts until the death or remarriage of the recipient spouse. Otherwise, the alimony is for a set period of time, and that period of time will vary depending on the facts of the case. As a South Florida family law attorney, Nick Kanelidis can assist you in pursuing or defending an alimony claim.
