Alimony
Tampa Alimony Lawyer
At the Law Firm of Chris E. Ragano, our legal team is dedicated to aggressively seeking the alimony (spousal support) you deserve. We strive to ensure that your best interests are kept at the forefront of the case in order to see that your needs are met.
We have an extensive network of resources, which we use throughout the course of seeking alimony. In many cases, an expert is needed in order to address issues in the marriage. The cases that require the assistance of an expert are usually marriages that had lasted for 11-15 years and are now coming to an end. This time period is considered a grey area and the factors contributing to the end of the marriage and awarding alimony are under tremendous scrutiny.
There are 5 different types of alimony, including transitional alimony, lump sum alimony, and rehab alimony. Taxes that stem from alimony payments must also be addressed. Our lawyers can assist you in understanding all of these aspects and how best to address all of these issues.
Another aspect of alimony is vocational rehabilitation. During this process, a determination is made as to the ability of the non-working (or lower incomed) spouse to achieve an occupation in which they can make enough money to maintain the standard of living to which they have become accustomed. If that level is too low, rehab may commence to raise earning potential and rehab alimony may be paid until the level of occupational skill is reached.
