Littleton Colorado Spousal Support Lawyer

b”Littleton Colorado Spousal Support Lawyer
Lakewood Alimony Lawyers

A variety of factors must be considered when calculating alimony, which is referred to as spousal maintenance in Colorado. At The Law Offices of W. Robert Montgomery, we have significant experience in this highly complex area. Because there is no formula for alimony in Colorado, it is important to seek experienced legal representation. Our attorneys are dedicated to protecting your interests, whether you are the potential payor or recipient of spousal maintenance.

Often, our attorneys must dispel urban myths regarding a range of family law issues. For example, many people believe that if infidelity was the cause for divorce or separation, the spouse at fault is not entitled to alimony. This is not true, as Colorado is a no-fault state when it comes to divorce and separation.

Serving Littleton and Throughout the Denver Metro

Spousal maintenance is determined based on the needs of one party and the ability of the other party to pay.

In order to arrive at a fair calculation, work with an attorney who is familiar with the fact-intensive evaluation of both spouses’ incomes that must take place.

The head of our family law practice, Rebecca Gumaer, has extensive experience with forensic accounting. She knows what to look for and how to protect our clients’ interests while determining income accurately for the purpose of spousal maintenance. We may work with forensic accountants, vocational experts and other professionals to ensure our findings stand up in court.

Following are factors that can impact spousal maintenance in Colorado:

Employment of both parties, including self-employment

The recipient spouse’s ability to earn income

Non-financial contributions to the marriage (domestic duties, including caring for children)

Medical issues, including disability

Duration of the marriage

Status of living during the marriage

Our lawyers frequently assist clients with spousal maintenance modifications. If you feel you should be receiving more support or you cannot afford the alimony payment you have been ordered to pay, contact our attorneys.
