Alimony can be an extremely contentious part of divorce. Shorstein & Lasnetski will fight to limit or prevent the financial burden of hefty alimony payments. We will also seek alimony in those cases where it is necessary to maintain your standard of living. The Court will look at the following factors in determining whether alimony is appropriate and how much alimony is appropriate.

• Standard of living throughout the duration of the marriage;
• Length of the marriage;
• Age and health (physical and emotional) of each individual;
• Sources of income for each individual;
• Assets and liabilities shared by each individual;
• Allowance for time needed for further education and training in order to find appropriate employment;
• How much and in what ways each party contributed to the marriage;
• Sources of income available to both individuals;
• Other factors as warranted to ensure equity and fairness among both parties.
