More information about our Evanston Alimony Lawyer

Understanding Alimony and Spousal Maintenance in Illinois

Alimony is called spousal maintenance in Illinois law. It may be granted where one spouse requires financial assistance and the other has the capacity to meet this. Many factors are considered by the courts including the income, property, needs, earning ability, age and health of each spouse, as well as the length of the marriage and the standard of living established during the marriage.

Protecting Your Financial Future During Divorce

If you are seeking maintenance or asked to pay it, the result may impact your budget for years. Some cases are for temporary support during the divorce, other cases are for fixed term, reviewable or longer-term support after the divorce is final. Our Evanston alimony attorneys can assist you in understanding what information is important, how support may be calculated and what arguments could strengthen your case.

Why Work With O’Flaherty Law for Your Evanston Alimony Case

O’Flaherty Law partners with clients looking for straightforward answers, practical guidance and a strategy focused on their goals. We know that maintenance issues are often intertwined with property division, parenting time, child support, and long-term planning. We help Evanston clients make their negotiations, mediation or court proceedings as organized and understandable as possible.
