Understanding Spousal Support with the Help of an Experienced Nashville Alimony Lawyer
Alimony is just another term for spousal support, which is court-ordered financial support that one person must pay to their ex-spouse after a divorce. The rules and laws that govern alimony payments vary from state to state. However, in Tennessee, the court can order one spouse to make regular payments to the other after they become divorced. There are different types of alimony. Some are modifiable and some are not. How much must be paid and for how long will depend on the specifics of the case.

These include the standard of living that both parties enjoyed during their marriage; how long the marriage lasted; the ages, employment statuses, and earning abilities of both parties; and the physical and emotional states of both spouses.
These are all complex matters, but they have a significant impact on how alimony decisions and amounts are determined by the court. Brighter DaySM Law’s spousal support attorney can help you manage your alimony case and work toward a fair and equitable spousal support agreement with your ex.
