Alimony
Alimony can also be referred to as spousal support or maintenance. If there is a significant pay disparity or one spouse legally demonstrates that they are unable to fend for themselves. Only a judge in a court of law or specific circumstantial criteria can award financial assistance.
Some factors that determine alimony are:
- Duration of the marriage
- Quality of life after divorce
- Age and health conditions of each spouse
- Earnings of each party, including education levels and employment skills.
- How much money each party could earn reasonably each month
Estate Planning
Changes that need to be made in your estate planning are sometimes ignored, but they are as vital. Most individuals would agree that having their ex-spouse inherit their possessions or make life and death choices for them is the last thing they desire.
That is exactly what can happen if these documents are not updated. While some states do have provisions designed to keep an ex-spouse from inheriting from you, they vary greatly by state and they do not apply to all of your assets.
You should not rely solely on state laws because they vary and, depending on your situation, may not apply to you. The best way to ensure that your assets go to whomever you want them to go to is to update your estate planning as soon as possible.
