Last updated on September 25, 2024

Spousal support, also known as alimony, is often an issue when getting a divorce. Whether you pay or receive spousal support, you deserve skilled legal guidance to help you reach an equitable and appropriate arrangement that protects your needs.

At Welty Esposito & Wieler LLC, we understand the complexities of spousal support matters in Connecticut. Our experienced attorneys are dedicated to helping you navigate these challenging issues, ensuring fair and equitable support arrangements. Whether you are seeking support or need to contest a spousal support claim, our team is here to provide the legal guidance you need.

Addressing A Range Of Spousal Support Issues

Since 2006, our firm has been a cornerstone of family law in New Haven County. Our attorneys are well-versed in the intricacies of spousal support laws. We recognize that every case involves unique factors, and we take the time to learn about these details to properly represent our clients.

Spousal support, or alimony, can be arranged in several different forms, based on the specific facts of the case, like the duration of marriage, income levels of each spouse, earning capacity, age and health of the parties and other factors. We can help you seek a fair arrangement, no matter what type of spousal support is involved in your case.

Temporary or Pendente Lite Spousal Support

Temporary spousal support is support that is paid in the time period between the filing of the divorce and the entry of Judgment. Our attorneys are experienced in the process by which these support orders are entered by the court. This is an important aspect of your case as it can affect how you and your spouse manage your finances during the pendency of the action.

Rehabilitative Spousal Support

Rehabilitative spousal support is designed to provide financial assistance for a limited time after Judgment, to help the lower income spouse gain skills or education to help them become self-sufficient. We can help you set terms for this support that are both reasonable and achievable.

Long-Term Spousal Support

In some cases, long-term spousal support may be necessary, particularly in marriages of long duration or where one spouse is unable to become self-sufficient. We can leverage our considerable experience in these matters to advocate for your fair support arrangement that reflects relevant factors like the length of the marriage, the realistic expectations of the spouse in need of support becoming self-sufficient, the impact of the property distribution orders and each party’s financial circumstances after their divorce.
