Will my spousal support end?

December 18, 2017 By Katie Carter

Spousal support is a bit of a bear.  It’s not all that predictable – whether we’re talking about how much spousal support you might expect to receive, or how long you’ll receive it.  Whether your spousal support will end is often another one of those gray areas, and it can be difficult to tell – difficult, too, to determine how to live your life post divorce so that the question of whether you’ll continue to receive a permanent spousal support award (if indeed you were able to get permanent … [Read more...]

Sheera Herrell wins at Court of Appeals!

December 11, 2015 By Katie Carter

Spousal support is probably one of the most complicated areas of divorce law. Spousal support can be established in two different ways—by agreement, or ordered by a judge. Still, it’s difficult, especially in cases where spousal support is established by agreement, because (obviously) you have to get your husband to agree. Not only that, but it’s based on a complicated weighing of three different criteria (including need versus ability to pay, the statutory factors, and the length of marriage). … [Read more...]
