Alimony and Spousal Support Lawyer in Nashville, TN

Alimony and Spousal Support Overview

Spousal support (alimony) is often one of the most contentious aspects of a divorce. With an attorney to explain the options and protect your rights, however, the issue of spousal support can be worked out so that it is fair to both parties. To discuss paying or receiving spousal support, please contact the Ewing Law Office LLC today.

In Tennessee, there are four options for spousal support:

• Alimony in Futuro — support is granted until the receiving spouse remarries or passes away.
• Transitional alimony — support is granted for two to five years so the receiving spouse can transition to living on one income.
• Rehabilitative alimony — support is granted to a spouse with little or no work history so he or she can obtain education or training to become self-sufficient.
• Periodic alimony — support is paid out over a specific period of time until the receiving spouse is paid his or her share of the assets.

Whether you are seeking or contesting alimony, our attorney can represent your interests. We understand that paying or receiving an appropriate amount of alimony is crucial to each spouse. With a background as an accountant, attorney Ewing is uniquely qualified to analyze and discuss financial issues with clients, the opposing party and the judge.

In addition to initial spousal support determinations, we represent parties seeking or contesting modifications to spousal support after the divorce has been finalized.
