I highly recommend Connor and Roberts for any legal needs. I was treated with respect and not judged. They helped me with two different cases and did a wonderful job.

Thank you, Chastain, for representing me in the court system.

Tawanna Tawanna
Great attorneys, great support staff!
I went through a painful divorce. The process took over a year. Conner and Roberts were there with me the whole time, never took advantage of my situation, and didn't break the bank. Two years later, when I was selling a house I had bought after my divorce and needed a copy of my divorce papers for the realtor, one call to the secretary was all it took, and immediately the information was in my inbox! Great attorneys, great support staff!
Sophus Lie

John Craw
Divorce sucks! Good lawyer helps.
Divorce sucks! But when you have a good lawyer that's going to explain everything and answer your endless questions, that makes things easier. Getting an appointment was easy. The people answering the phone were even nice. Let's face it, in today's world it's hurry up and get rid of people on the phone. Just make the appointment and go away. Not them. That was really nice. Life was not going well and they just handled the hard stuff.

Spousal support, also known as alimony, is a financial payment from one spouse to another after separation or divorce. Its purpose is to help the lower-earning spouse maintain a similar standard of living to that enjoyed during the marriage. The amount and duration depend on various factors, including the length of the marriage and the needs and financial resources of each party.
Can spousal support be modified?
Yes, spousal support can be modified if there has been a significant change in circumstances. This might include changes in income, employment status, or financial needs. Either party can request a modification, but they must provide evidence to support the change. A court will review the evidence to determine if an adjustment to the support order is justified.
Can I waive spousal support?
Yes, spousal support rights can be waived, typically through a prenuptial or postnuptial agreement. Both parties must agree to the waiver in writing, and the agreement must be deemed fair and entered into voluntarily by both parties. It is beneficial to have legal representation during this process to ensure that your rights are protected and the agreement is enforceable.
Is spousal support taxable?
As of changes in 2019, spousal support payments are not taxable to the recipient nor tax-deductible for the payer in the United States. However, tax laws can vary. It is advisable to consult a tax professional to understand how spousal support affects your taxes in your specific jurisdiction.
