What is the most likely verdict a judge will give for spousal support?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Barbara Peyton (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Peyton & Associates
I can't say how much it would reduce spousal support but it will certainly have an impact on how much you will pay. I strongly suggest you get a lawyer to help you through this because how you approach and handle it is very important. If you can't afford a lawyer for the entire case, you can hire a lawyer for limited scope representation on this one issue. A vocational evaluator should absolutely be retained in your case.

Does my wife have any access to my inheritance during a divorce? How?

Answered by attorney Joanna Marie Mitchell (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Joanna Mitchell & Associates, P.A.
Generally, any inheritance is yours and yours solely, as long as it has not been comingled or placed into a joint account, which is typically the only way she would have access anyway. You need to speak with an attorney.

Does spousal support stop at retirement?

Answered by attorney Anne Barbara Howard (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Anne B. Howard, A Professional Law Corporation
If he stops working, it can be modified downwards. His social security is his separate money. Depends on length of marriage and other factors. But probably does stop at retirement. You should have got your share of any pension in the divorce.
