Protecting Your Finances And Lifestyle In Spousal Support Matters

When wealthy couples are working through divorce, the biggest questions they have relate to spousal support. How much can they expect to pay or receive, and how long will that last?

In South Florida, child support is determined by a formula. For spousal support, there are no such guidelines. Fort Lauderdale and Boca Raton attorneys who know what to expect from spousal support are lawyers who have a thorough understanding of the law and the cases that have been determined in the past. Daniel Forrest and Paulina Forrest are those kind of attorneys.

Daniel Forrest is a Board Certified Marital & Family Law specialist. In addition, both of our lawyers are aggressive in the courtroom and persuasive in negotiations. They know what’s feasible, and they help ensure clients pay or receive appropriate spousal support payments.

Understanding How Spousal Support Is Determined

Even though there is not a formula for determining spousal support payments, there are still several factors the judges consider. When judges are thinking about alimony payments, they look at the lifestyle of the couple.

Using forensic accounting, judges determine whether the standard of living was reasonable and whether the couple would be able to maintain the lifestyle. For examples, couples who live extravagantly but beyond their means should not expect spousal support payments to support the current lifestyle.
