Arizona Spousal Maintenance/Alimony Guidelines Attorney

Phoenix Spousal Support Lawyer

Arizona revised statutes require that the party requesting spousal support show need, and the ability of the other party to pay spousal maintenance/alimony. At our family law firm in Phoenix, exclusively representing men and father's rights, attorney Mark A. Werner is careful to protect our clients' financial position when discussing alimony/spousal maintenance. If you have questions about your exposure to a support obligation or if you would like to discuss petitioning to receive maintenance payments from your wife, contact our office and make arrangements for a consultation.

What factors are considered by family court when determining need and ability to pay?

The court is not allowed to consider gender in determining spousal maintenance/alimony. Factors that may influence a judge's decision include duration of the marriage, the role of one spouse as a stay-at-home parent in support of the other spouse's career, an education one spouse acquired during the marriage, or the role of one spouse as a homemaker and caretaker of young children or a child with disabilities. Although, traditionally, if any maintenance was paid, support payments were made by the ex-husband to the ex-wife. Attorney Mark A. Werner has successfully represented men concerning spousal maintenance/alimony. Contact our law office, exclusively representing men and father's rights, to arrange for a consultation.
