Manhattan Spousal Support Lawyer
When two people form a legal union called marriage, they usually take on various roles in that union. One person may work, stay home and care for children. One spouse will enjoy the financial independence of being able to exit the marriage at any time, without economic catastrophe striking, while the dependent spouse puts their literal economic life into the hands of the primary breadwinner. Many people mistakenly believe that only spouses who didn’t work during the marriage are qualified for alimony – or spousal support – payment. Wrong! Even if you worked during the marriage, if you weren’t the primary earner and now would face difficulty in taking care of yourself during a divorce, you may still be able to get some form of alimony payment.
