In some divorces, one spouse earns more income than the other. In these situations it may be appropriate for the parties to negotiate financial support in the form of spousal maintenance (formerly called alimony). When a divorce involves partnerships of many years, substantial assets, children, illness, or other special circumstances, finding an attorney with the insight to negotiate a fair and appropriate plan for spousal maintenance can have a dramatic impact on your future lifestyle and options.
