Settling Finances During And After Divorce

Married couples are required to support each other. With regard to finances, this support must continue even if the marriage ends. There will be temporary maintenance — money paid by one partner to the other during divorce proceedings. There will be permanent alimony — money paid by one partner to the other for a prolonged, ongoing period of time.

In New York, the courts have a great deal of discretion in spousal support disputes. If partners cannot come to terms on their own, a judge determines the size of maintenance payments as well as their duration. It is important, when entering maintenance proceedings, to have an experienced attorney at your side to ensure you are treated fairly. The legal team at Warren Welch Esq., LLC, can help.
