Springfield, Massachusetts, Alimony Lawyer

Following a divorce, your financial situation will probably not be the same as prior to the divorce. In Massachusetts, there are currently no hard and fast guidelines for determining alimony, also called spousal support. However, you can predict that the judge will consider the income of both parties and several other elements that may affect the final spousal support payment, if any.

Whether you are a possible recipient or payer, you need a hardworking, knowledgeable lawyer to help protect your rights and look out for your best interests.

Don’t leave your post-divorce finances to guesswork. Reach out to my firm, Claudette-Jean Girard, Attorney at Law, for clear guidance and strong advocacy from a lawyer who understands how judges evaluate spousal support in Springfield.
