The Lewis Law Firm, A Professional Corporation, has the skill and experience to represent and defend clients in divorce disputes involving spousal support or alimony. Our firm has extensive experience handling complex spousal maintenance mediation and litigation for high income families with significant assets, family owned or closely held businesses, and retirement plans.

Skilled Spousal Support Attorneys

Spousal support is ordered when the marriage lasted a long time, there is a great disparity in earning capacity between the divorcing parties, or when one of the parties made a career of taking care of the home. Whether alimony is permanent or temporary can be a hotly contested matter. Our lawyers have extensive experience as well as a wealth of resources to help our clients influence whether alimony will be paid and whether spousal support orders are permanent or temporary.

Spousal Support Modification and Enforcement

Our attorneys understand that, over time, circumstances change. People remarry and income fluctuates. As our clients move forward in their lives our firm continues to provide spousal support legal advice calculated to help them obtain support modification from the courts. In addition, our firm can help clients with support enforcement issues.

The wealth of high-income individuals tends to shift with the fortunes of their business or the value of their company's stock. Our firm has the sophistication and experience to protect our clients from unreasonable spousal support orders. Legal advice supplied by our attorneys is enhanced by the support of our forensic accounts and other professionals with the expertise to help our attorneys determine fair spousal support.
