Alimony And Spousal Support Attorney In Franklin, Tennessee 

Alimony, recognized as spousal support, is a financial provision paid by one spouse to another in the course of a divorce and, occasionally, on a permanent basis. Both partners can qualify for alimony. Your or your spouse's eligibility will hinge on the unique conditions of your family, marriage, and divorce proceedings.  In most cases, alimony is awarded to the spouse who earns less income or has sacrificed their career for the benefit of the marriage.

Alimony is not a mandatory component of divorce proceedings and is often subject to negotiation between both parties. The purpose of alimony is to provide financial support to the recipient spouse in order to maintain their standard of living after the divorce. This can include covering expenses such as housing, food, healthcare, and other necessities. There are various types of alimony that may be awarded depending on the circumstances of the divorce. Temporary or rehabilitative alimony is usually given for a specific period of time until the receiving spouse can become self-sufficient.
