Schneiders & Schneiders:
Experienced Alimony Lawyers
Today, alimony is awarded in less than half of all divorces and even when it is — is not the permanent windfall that it used to be.
Today's alimony is more "rehabilitative" in nature and is intended as short-term aid for people who need help getting started on a new life after divorce.

At the Law Offices of Schneiders & Schneiders, we represent women and men in divorce matters and by extension, individuals who can expect to pay some amount of alimony after their divorce is final — and those who can expect to receive it.
Some of the factors that courts consider in trying to determine whether some type of alimony should be awarded include:
- The length of the marriage
- The conduct of the parties during the marriage
- The age and health condition of each spouse
- The employment status and income of each spouse
- The relative earning capacities, vocational skills and employability of each spouse
If you feel that you deserve to receive alimony, our attorneys will work toward that solution and can take immediate action to obtain an order for temporary support while the divorce process takes its course. In addition, if it looks as though an award is likely — we can help you to determine which type (lump-sum or periodic) might be best for your needs.
If you are required to pay alimony, do not be discouraged. In addition to its impact on the property division process, there are also beneficial tax implications that come with making payments for spousal maintenance after a divorce. Our lawyers can help you make the most of this situation.
