Knowledgeable Spousal Maintenance Lawyers To Protect You

Spousal maintenance – sometimes referred to as alimony or spousal support – is a complex and often highly disputed matter in divorce cases. Just as property division and child support awards may significantly impact the financial security of parties who are subject to a divorce, spousal maintenance may also have a significant impact on an individual’s immediate and long-term financial security.

If you believe that maintenance may become an issue in your dissolution, it is critical that you have an experienced divorce lawyer on your side to ensure the protection of your rights.

For the quality legal representation you require, contact Lake Toback DiDomenico in Chicago, Illinois. As one of the top family law firms in Illinois, we can provide the sound advice and skilled representation you require.

What Are The Maintenance Laws In Illinois?

There are three types of spousal maintenance in Illinois:

  • Temporary maintenance: Courts may award either spouse temporary maintenance during a divorce.
  • Rehabilitative maintenance: Paid for a period of time deemed necessary to help a spouse obtain job training, education or other tools necessary to become financially stable.
  • Permanent maintenance: Often awarded in cases involving long-term marriages in which one spouse has sacrificed his or her career opportunities to be a stay-at-home parent or where there is a significant income disparity between spouses. Courts will consider the length of the marriage, the ability of a spouse to pay maintenance, the need of the other spouse to receive maintenance, the standard of living enjoyed by the parties during the marriage, the age and health of the parties, and other factors impacting the equitable interests and financial welfare of the parties.

Given the significant discretion that courts have to award maintenance to parties subject to a divorce, it is critical that you have an experienced and highly skilled attorney. Your attorney must be able to negotiate a favorable agreement on your behalf or make a compelling case on your behalf at trial.
