Glendale Alimony Attorney

If you’re divorcing a spouse in Glendale, California, you likely know that one of you may be ordered to pay alimony. What you might not know is who will pay spousal support, what type of alimony the court will order, and more.

These are all issues it’s best to discuss with a legal professional. At Baghdaserians Law Group, Inc a Glendale alimony attorney is on hand to help you navigate these matters with confidence.

Types of Alimony in Glendale, CA

Temporary spousal support: This type of alimony is awarded during the divorce proceedings and is intended to provide financial support to the lower-earning spouse while the divorce is pending.
Rehabilitative spousal support: This type of alimony is intended to help the lower-earning spouse become self-supporting by providing support for education or job training.
Permanent spousal support: This type of alimony is intended to provide ongoing support to the lower-earning spouse after the divorce is final. It may be awarded for an indefinite period of time or for a specific duration. Typically, courts only award this type of alimony when a marriage lasted a long time (such as 10 years or more) or certain factors (such as age or illness) could prevent the lower-earning spouse from entering the workforce.
Reimbursement spousal support: This type of alimony is intended to reimburse one spouse for any contributions made to the other spouse during the marriage, such as supporting their education or career.
Lump-sum alimony: This type of alimony is a one-time payment that is usually awarded in lieu of ongoing support payments.

The court will consider a variety of factors when determining the appropriate type of alimony, including the length of the marriage, the earning capacity of each spouse, the standard of living during the marriage, and the needs of each spouse. It’s important to note that alimony is not guaranteed, and the court has discretion on whether to award it or not and what type is more appropriate, depending on the case.

It is recommended to consult with a Glendale alimony lawyer who can help you understand the different types of alimony and what may be appropriate in your specific divorce. Whether you’re seeking alimony or you believe you’re going to be ordered to pay alimony, an attorney can provide the advocacy you deserve.

Glendale Alimony Termination: Important Information

In California, alimony termination refers to the end of the obligation to pay spousal support. The termination can happen in a few ways:

Termination by agreement: Spousal support can be terminated by mutual agreement between the parties, either through a written settlement agreement or a stipulation filed with the court.
Termination by court order: The court can terminate spousal support at the request of either party. The court will consider various factors, including the length of the marriage, the earning capacity of each party, and the needs of each party when determining whether to terminate support.
Termination by a specific date: Alimony can be awarded for a specific period of time and will terminate automatically on that date.
Termination by the recipient’s remarriage: In California, spousal support will automatically terminate upon the remarriage of the recipient.
Termination by the payer’s retirement: In California, spousal support will terminate upon the payer’s retirement unless the court order or agreement specifies otherwise.

It is important to note that once alimony is terminated, it typically cannot be reinstated, so it is important to consider the long-term implications of any agreement to terminate support before making a decision. It is recommended that you consult with a lawyer to understand your rights and options regarding alimony termination in California.
