Helping Palatine Clients With Spousal Maintenance

Alimony - that's spousal maintenance in Illinois - can be one of the most terrifying parts of a divorce. Whether you're looking to get support from your ex or are the one being asked to pay it, the way it all shakes out can be a big deal for your budget, long term plans and just getting your life back on track. At O'Flaherty Law, our Palatine family lawyers do their best to help clients figure out how spousal maintenance might impact them and what they can do to safeguard their financial well being.

How It Works in Illinois

Illinois courts don't award spousal maintenance in every single divorce. When a judge decides whether to give maintenance, they're looking at a whole bunch of stuff, including income, needs, what kind of property you both have, how capable you both are of earning a living, how long you were married, what was your standard of living while you were together, and whether one spouse put their career on hold to raise the kids. When maintenance is called for and the statutory guidelines kick in, Illinois has a formula that's based on the couple's net incomes. How long payments last is often tied to how long you were married, but every case is unique.
