Jackson Spousal Support Lawyers

Experienced Alimony Attorneys Serving Jackson, TN

Stack of hundred dollar bills and a note with the word Did you depend on your spouse for financial support during your marriage or are you worried about having to pay alimony after your divorce? Alimony, also known as spousal support, is payments made by one spouse to the other for a certain period of time after a divorce is finalized. It is financial aid to help the dependent party transition to a new lifestyle, rehabilitate himself or herself or live closer to the way he or she did during marriage, if rehabilitation is not possible.

Although alimony is not always required, it is often ordered by judges, temporarily or permanently, depending on the circumstances of the marriage and divorce. At Casey, Simmons & Bryant, PLLC, our Jackson alimony attorneys can help you navigate the issue of alimony payments.

Understanding Different Types of Alimony

Navigating the complexities of alimony can be challenging, especially when you're unsure of what to expect. At Casey, Simmons & Bryant, PLLC, we believe that educating our clients about the different types of alimony can empower them to make informed decisions. Here’s a brief overview of the various forms of alimony available in Tennessee:

  • Temporary Alimony: This type of support is awarded during the divorce proceedings and is designed to help the lower-earning spouse maintain their standard of living until the divorce is finalized.
  • Rehabilitative Alimony: Intended to support a spouse who is seeking education or training to become self-sufficient, rehabilitative alimony is typically granted for a specific period.
  • Periodic Alimony: This ongoing support is paid at regular intervals and is often awarded when one spouse requires financial assistance for an extended period after the divorce.
  • Permanent Alimony: In cases where one spouse may never be able to become self-sufficient, permanent alimony may be awarded, providing lifelong support until a significant change in circumstances occurs.

Understanding these categories can help you better prepare for your legal journey. Our experienced alimony attorneys in Jackson are here to guide you through the process, ensuring that your rights and interests are protected. Contact us today to discuss your unique situation and explore the best options available for you.

Will I Receive Alimony Payments?

Alimony is awarded based upon a number of different factors considered by the judge. It is typically decided based on the payee's financial needs and dependency, as well as the payor's ability to provide support. The judge will likely consider the lifestyle both parties had during the marriage.

Key Factors Influencing Alimony Awards:

  • Prenuptial agreement (if there is one)
  • Earning capacity of each party
  • Contribution of each party
  • Physical health and ability of each party
  • Property brought into the marriage
  • Duration of the marriage
  • Education level/current income of each party

    "He fought for me and each time won my case. He was humble, understanding and compassionate."
    After meeting him in person I knew he was who I wanted to represent me in a child custody case and later in an adoption case. He responses quickly, effectively and in a timely manner whenever I had a question. He fought for me and each time won my case.

    "Don’t wait any longer if you need someone great, Mr. Bryant will definitely get the job done!"
    First and foremost I want to start by saying how incredible Mr. Daniel Bryant has been for my family, especially my husband Caius. He has been my husband’s attorney for years and has helped him beat multiple cases even by getting them dismissed and expunged. We’re more than thankful for all the hard work he has done and would definitely recommend to anyone looking for an amazing attorney!!! Don’t wait any longer if you need someone great, Mr. Bryant will definitely get the job done!

    "I am extremely confident that the truth will continue to prevail with Mr. Casey on our side arguing for it."
    Simply outstanding! Not only is my particular case extremely complex and emotionally taxing for both myself, AND everyone involved (including counsel), but Mr. Casey had literally HOURS to prepare for a crucial motion to be heard, as I hired him at 4 pm for a 9 am court date. This proved to be the best decision we could have ever made! His exemplary presentation of the truth, combined with his calm yet laser-focused attention to what was being presented from the other side was not only impressive but was also what resulted in me being able to spend very precious and valuable time with my daughter. While this case is not yet over, I am extremely confident that the truth will continue to prevail with Mr. Casey on our side arguing for it. Thank you, Mr. Casey!

    "Mr. Daniel Bryant was absolutely one of the best lawyers I had..."
    On my first time to deal with hiring a lawyer from overseas, I was scared and a little skeptical. Mr. Daniel Bryant was absolutely one of the best lawyers I had to deal with. Very professional, patient, clear on explaining things, quick on answering back beside the time difference, easy to work with, human and humble. I would highly reccomend him and definetely hire him again if needed, it is difficilt to find reliable lawyers.

    "Please choose wisely and call Mr. Casey today!!!"
    My ex-wife got our Arkansas visitation changed from Arkansas to Tennessee. She was asking to reduce my visitation days and requesting an absurdly increased amount in child support. I contacted George Michael Casey for consultation. He was very professional, extremely knowledgeable of the law and his customer service is impeccable. Mr. Casey always returns calls and responds to emails promptly. His review of how the case would probably turn out was perfect. I actually got more visitation days and the increase in child support was minimal. If you do not utilize Mr. Casey's expert professional services then you are choosing the wrong attorney. Please choose wisely and call Mr. Casey today!!!

    "I was able to relax through the process, Kortney Simmons is the best!"
    I was a nervous wreck simply considering divorce because of the horror stories I've heard. Kortney leveled the playing field, she was upfront and honest about the pros and cons but assured me she was interested in MY BEST INTEREST. Kortney's professionalism felt personal as if I were more than just a paying client. And because of that, I was able to relax through the process, Kortney Simmons is the best!
