Divorce is often an emotionally devastating experience as what was once a loving relationship comes to an end and your family life gets redefined. However, divorce should not be a financially devastating experience for one party who relied on their spouse for financial support.
Alimony (also called spousal support) may be the solution you need to ensure financial stability after marriage. The attorneys at Roybal-Mack & Cordova, PC can help you calculate and, if necessary, fight for the alimony you deserve.
Alimony is the legal obligation of one party to support his or her spouse during a legal separation or after a divorce.
Alimony is not an obligation in every divorce case. Whether or not a spouse is eligible to receive alimony is based on a number of factors, including:
Alimony is not a punitive payment paid by one party to the other. So, no party in a divorce must prove fault for the divorce in order to be eligible for spousal support.
Alimony is also separate from any equalization payments made from one party to the other as a means to equitably divide community property.
Alimony can be paid in one of three ways:
New Mexico’s Alimony Guidelines and Commentaries publication helps determine when a party may be eligible for spousal support as well as formulas to calculate alimony (which is affected if child support is also being paid).
While the State of New Mexico has clear guidelines on who may receive alimony, the party seeking alimony may need to prove the need or right to spousal support. And the party on the hook for payment may fight back.
To make sure that you get the alimony you deserve, you need an experienced family law attorney.
