Family Law Attorneys Serving the Minneapolis/St. Paul Metro
Divorce often has a significant impact on your finances. One of the most important issues relating to your finances is the issue of spousal maintenance. Spousal maintenance, also known as alimony, is a court-ordered award to one former spouse from another in a divorce. Courts have discretion in deciding whether or not to make an award of spousal maintenance. As a result, your choice of lawyer can make a real difference on whether you achieve your goals.
If you and your spouse cannot agree on spousal maintenance terms, the court will weigh a number of factors in deciding whether to award spousal maintenance. These factors include:
Depending on the circumstances, spousal maintenance can be awarded on a permanent or temporary basis. If you are paying or receiving spousal maintenance in the years following your divorce and need to modify your arrangements based on a substantial change of circumstances, our law firm is able to accomplish your goals as well.
If you are facing divorce and have questions or concerns about spousal maintenance, the family law firm of Jensen, Mullen, McSweeney & Meyer, PLLP, is here for you. Based in Bloomington, we serve clients across the Twin Cities and across the surrounding areas of Minnesota.
