Can my daughter get alimony if she was a stay at home mom? How?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Julie Anne Ringquist (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Law Office of Julie A. Ringquist
It depends on his income and her earning ability. If one spouse earns significantly more than the other spouse, there will be spousal support. The court will also order child support. The court may allow her to stay home a while longer, but not much because it is the court's goal that both spouses become self supporting at the earliest reasonable time. In a reasonable amount of time, she must either begin working, or the court will impute reasonable earnings to her and lower the amount of support based on what she could and should be earning.

If I get half of the proceeds from the sale of the house, will that be a factor in considering whether I am awarded alimony in a divorce?

Robert Lawrence Bogen
Answered by attorney Robert Lawrence Bogen (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at The Law Offices of Robert L. Bogen, P.A.
There are many factors that a court must consider with regard to the issue of alimony.  Primarily, there must first be a need, as measured by the marital standard of living.  There must also be an ability to pay, without seriously jeopardizing the payor's financial welfare.  Additionally, the court must consider the length of the marriage, the age and physical/emotional well-being of the parties, the financial resources available to the parties and their respective earning abilities, and each party's contributions to the marriage as well as the responsibilities each party may have to the children of the marriage after the divorce.  The court may consider any other factor necessary to do equity and justice between the parties.  Upon considering all these factors, the court will determine whether alimony should be awarded, the type of alimony, and the amount and duration of alimony.  The fact that the marital home is being sold and the parties will each receive 50% of the proceeds is a factor that the court will consider.  The court will also consider the fact that these proceeds will likely be necessary to establish a post-marital residence, and thus would not be available to live on.  Even if the proceeds were available to live on, the court must consider all the other factors noted above as well.  In summary, the court will consider the post-marital financial circumstances of both parties, the relative need and ability to pay of the parties, and any other equitable factor.  The mere fact that you and your husband will be splitting the proceeds from the sale of the house is but a single factor among all the other equitable considerations, and will not disqualify you from obtaining an alimony award.

Will I get the car and all the payments and is there a way to receive alimony?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Jon Laurence Rathjen (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Law Office of Jon Rathjen
Normally debts incurred during the marriage are community, just as assets acquired are normally divided 50/50, so I would expect joint liability as to the car debt; however, if the intent is to keep he car then the debt would normally go to you with the car to offset the value. Similarly, the separation pay earned during the marriage should go 50/50. If in fact he was the sole provider I would expect you to get some sort of interim support, but in the case of such a short term marriage the judge has a lot of discretion and I could see no support awarded.
