Tips to Prove You Deserve Alimony in a Divorce

Alimony, known as spousal support, is financial assistance paid from one spouse to the other following a divorce. For alimony to be granted, the court must determine that one spouse is unable to fully support themselves after the divorce. The family court in Commerce City will consider several factors, including the length of the marriage, the standard of living during the marriage, and each spouse’s earning potential.

If you are pursuing alimony, there are a few proactive steps you can take to bolster your case:

  • Document financial contributions. Keep records of all the financial support you provided during the marriage, such as staying home to care for children or contributing to your spouse's education.
  • Detail the lifestyle enjoyed during the marriage. This will inform the court about the amount needed to maintain a similar standard of living post-divorce.
  • Demonstrate financial need. Provide evidence that explains your inability to support yourself financially, such as job loss or reduced income.

While gaining alimony can be challenging, thorough preparation and a clear demonstration of need increase the likelihood of obtaining the necessary support.

Frequently Asked Questions

What Should I Bring to My First Consultation with a Family Lawyer?

When you’re preparing for your first consultation with a family lawyer, bring all relevant documents that pertain to your case. This could include marriage certificates, financial statements, tax returns, child custody arrangements, and any correspondence or court documents related to your legal matters. It’s also helpful to bring a list of questions you have about the process and any concerns you wish to address. A clear understanding of your situation enables your lawyer to offer the most accurate and strategic advice from the start.

How Does Child Support Work in Colorado?

In Colorado, child support is determined by a formula that considers both parents’ incomes, the number of overnight visits the child has with each parent, and any expenses related to childcare, healthcare, and education. The aim is to ensure that the child’s financial needs are met consistently and fairly, regardless of which parent has primary custody. The complexity of these factors means that each case can result in different outcomes. At Johnson Law Group, we help you assess your specific circumstances and ensure that all relevant factors are considered to support a fair child support arrangement.

Can Mediation Help Preserve Family Relationships?

Mediation can be an effective way to reduce the stress and confrontation often associated with family law disputes. When parties are able to reach an agreement through mediation, they often find that the process is less adversarial and allows for better long-term relationships, especially when children are involved. At Johnson Law Group, we facilitate mediation sessions that are designed to create a supportive environment where open communication can take place, fostering mutual respect and understanding between parties.

    “My experience with the Johnson Law Group has been nothing more than spectacular.”
    From the initial phone call I spoke to Myles Johnson, he gave great direction on how to proceed. Then acquiring the firm as my legal representation I worked with Said and he helped me step by step to get what I was looking for. I have already recommended two different individuals I know to Johnson Law Group and will be using them for all future situations. From the legal team to Cory at the front desk, everyone at the firm is top-notch.
