NYC Spousal Support Lawyer Juan Luciano Discusses the Purpose of Alimony

Jan 9, 2023

January 09, 2023 - /PressAdvantage/ - NYC spousal support lawyer Juan Luciano (https://divorcelawfirmnyc.com/spousal-support-lawyer-alimony-attorney/) releases a new article explaining the purpose of alimony in a New York divorce. The lawyer mentions that when a couple decides to divorce, one spouse may ask for alimony or spousal support. This can be a reasonable request in many cases and the amount may be negotiated and agreed upon by the couple or it can be ordered by the court.

“Whether alimony is warranted is based on the couple’s unique financial situation and history and is separate from any division of marital assets. Unfortunately, the subject of alimony can be highly contentious between divorcing spouses. Although divorce is seldom a smooth and painless experience, having an experienced New York alimony attorney in your corner can help make it as stress-free as possible,” says the NYC spousal support lawyer.

The lawyer explains that alimony is when one spouse provides some sort of support to the other during or after a divorce. This is usually done to provide financial balance to the couple and lower the adverse economic effect the divorce has on the lower-wage earner. In cases such as a high-net-worth divorce, spousal support or alimony can become complicated.

Attorney Juan Luciano mentions that there are also different types of alimony in New York. They are temporary support, rehabilitative support, permanent support, and reimbursement support. The type of support will depend on the couple’s individual circumstances and financial factors. He adds that temporary alimony is awarded only for a finite period of time.

In the article, attorney Luciano goes on to explain each type of alimony. He says that permanent alimony is awarded when one spouse has stayed out of the workforce for the majority of the marriage to manage the home and family. The judge will take into consideration whether the spouse to be awarded is unable to work or is in poor health.

According to the NYC Spousal Support Lawyer, “Rehabilitative spousal support is also temporary and is commonly awarded to a spouse when there is a significant difference in income. This is often awarded when one spouse has stayed home to raise children. Lastly, reimbursement spousal support can be awarded when one spouse supported the other throughout their higher education or training so they could enhance their income.”

Lastly, attorney Luciano emphasizes the importance of having a skilled divorce lawyer when dealing with matters such as alimony or spousal support. Having an experienced lawyer may be able to help the client understand their rights and receive a more favorable outcome in the case.
