Alimony

Alimony or spousal support is the legal obligation that a person may have to give financial support to his or her ex-spouse after a divorce. Traditionally, alimony has been paid by men to their former wives. However, this has changed since the 1970s, and now men also may qualify for alimony payments. North Metro Litigators are available to assist you every step of the way with your divorce.
