divorce cases. To make the matter even more complicated, there are no
clear-cut guidelines as to when it should be paid and how much the amount
should be. When dealing with a gray area of the law like this, it is important
that you choose a seasoned lawyer to handle your case. At the Law Office
of Steven P. Monaghan, LLC, you can benefit from our experienced team

The Basic Legal Principles That Apply
While there are no spousal support guidelines, there are some basic legal principles that apply. However, there are certain factors that should be taken into consideration. They are similar to the factors that come into play when determining how property is divided, and often these two issues are addressed simultaneously and dependently.
Factors considered for spousal support include:
- The financial need of one spouse and the ability of the other to pay
- The age and health of the spouses
- The standard of living established during the marriage
- The earning capacity, educational level and employability of the spouses
With over six decades of combined experience under our belts, our New Jersey alimony lawyers can assist you with with all regular alimony issues, as well as the more unique and challenging issues that may arise in high net worth divorce cases.
