Support Issues – Pittsburgh and Beaver County Attorneys

We can help you with any claim for support. We will give you a realistic estimate of the

amount of support that will be awarded and the likely duration of it. Our Beaver County

and Pittsburgh lawyers will predict how the income of each party will factor into the

support obligation. We will also explain to you the concept of “imputed” income and tell

you differences between the various types of support, such as:

(1) SPOUSAL SUPPORT

. Prior to divorce, there may be a claim for spousal support and

we can look at the relative income of each party to make a solid prediction of the amount

payable.

(2) ALIMONY

.

a

immediate obligtion to finish school or otherwise work to avoid making a claim for long term

alimony;

We will evaluate any claim for alimony, which is a form of support following divorce and equitable distribution. We will look at whether the dependent party has animmediate obligtion to finish school or otherwise work to avoid making a claim for long termalimony;

(3) APL

, or Alimony Pendite Lite. This is a form of alimony to compensate the dependent

party while the divorce and equitable distribution are going on. We can give you an

estimate of the expected amount to be paid for APL and you also need to know the

different tax implications for APL versus spousal support (such as whether the payment

constitutes income to the payee or a tax deduction for the payor).

(3) CHILD SUPPORT

.

Our Beaver County and Pitsburgh attorneys can tell you the likely

amount of child support to be paid, which will depend on factors beyond simply the number

of children. As with spousal support (above), we can discuss with you interstate and other

complex issues in the area of child support.
