Primary Factors in Determining Alimony
Numerous factors should be considered in determining the amount of a spousal support award. While the Spousal Support Advisory Guidelines are advisory, the court is not required to adhere to them strictly. If the court chooses to deviate from the guidelines, however, it must document the reasons for doing so.
Whether a spouse is entitled to support depends on several factors, including:
Length of the relationship
The age of the spouses
The income of each party
The earning capacity of the spouses
The needs of the spouses
The ability to provide support
The number of children
The care of the children
Each spouse’s contributions to the relationship
The roles of each spouse during the relationship
The standard of living established during the relationship
The ability of a spouse to become self-supporting
What Our Clients Think of Cabanas Law Firm
Would recommend this firm to friends. I engaged them to handle making an adjustment to my divorce settlement agreement. As it was likely to cost less than the retainer in this case, they kindly agreed to refund any remaining money. They handled everything perfectly and professionally, and I’ve just received a check with the remaining funds. Thank you Cabanas

Cabanas Law Firm is amazing! The whole team is super professional and really cares about their clients. A big shoutout to Nichol, the paralegal, for being so helpful and responsive. She went above and beyond to answer my questions and provide guidance. If you need a great law firm, this is the one to go with.
I would highly recommend attorney Sergio Cabanas to anyone going through a divorce. In fact, I’ve already referred some of my friends. His knowledge of family law was evident from the get-go and it helped me to feel confident and protected when making decisions. His communication skills are outstanding.

Who Can Receive Alimony?
Alimony could be awarded in various forms such as bridge-the-gap, rehabilitative, durational, or permanent, and may be payable in installments or lump sum. The type of award is determined based on a variety of factors, including the financial resources of each party, the length of the marriage, the standard of living enjoyed during the marriage, earning capacity and skill set of each party, age, each party’s contribution to the marriage, and more. The outcome is particular to the situation of the spouses. Our skilled divorce attorneys will provide a complete presentation of evidence to support a favorable decision for our client.
We understand that people in different situations have different needs and concerns, and we help them find their way.
The financial impact of divorce can be minimal to substantial. And affluent spouses risk losing more in a divorce. Increasingly, women are paying spousal support and/or child support to their ex-husbands, especially when the wife is the primary breadwinner in the house. Many factors can affect the type and amount of alimony you may be eligible to receive or be required to pay. And when amounts are contested, things can get complicated quickly. Therefore, it’s essential to work with the right law firm that has navigated these waters many times to ensure you get a fair result.
