What Does Spousal Support Look Like After a Decades-Long Marriage?

If you’ve dedicated years to supporting your family and managing a household, the thought of divorce can be terrifying. You may be facing the prospect of re-entering the workforce after decades or trying to manage on a single income for the first time. You’re worried about how you’ll pay the bills and maintain your life, and you feel uncertain about whether the law will recognize your contributions to the marriage.

We believe that your years of dedication and sacrifice should be honored, not ignored. In a long-term marriage, spousal support (alimony) isn't just a formula; it's a recognition of the partnership you built. Our role is to ensure your contributions are fully valued. We provide a clear plan to secure the support you deserve:

  1. Assess Your Needs: We begin by creating a picture of your financial needs and the standard of living established during your marriage.

  2. Demonstrate Your Contribution: We build a strong case that highlights your vital role in your spouse's career success and the family's financial growth.

  3. Negotiate for Your Future: We fight to secure a fair spousal support arrangement that provides you with the stability and security you need to begin your next chapter.

Attempting to navigate this alone can leave you with an unfair settlement that jeopardizes your future. But with an experienced guide, you can achieve a resolution that honors your contributions and provides financial peace of mind.

You deserve a secure future. Contact us to schedule a consultation and learn how we can advocate for you.
