New Jersey Alimony & Spousal Support Lawyers

Experienced Divorce Attorneys Fight for the Rights and Interests of Clients in the Alimony/Spousal Support Process in New Jersey

For some divorcing couples, one spouse may have been the sole or primary breadwinner for the family; when these couples separate, it can leave the other spouse without a means of financial support, especially if that spouse has foregone education or training or deferred his or her career growth to support his or her spouse’s educational and career achievements. Fortunately, New Jersey divorce law provides a method by which divorcing couples can both maintain relatively comparable standards of living as they go their separate ways and both spouses become financially independent and self-sufficient. Courts can order spouses to pay alimony or other spousal support to their other spouse during separation, divorce proceedings, and following the final judgment of divorce. 

Determining alimony or spousal support arrangements is a fact-intensive endeavor. You need an experienced, aggressive attorney who will diligently protect your rights and interests and fight to ensure that you end up with an alimony or support arrangement that fits your individual circumstances.

Frequently Asked Questions about Alimony/Spousal Support

How is alimony calculated in New Jersey?

In New Jersey, the amount and duration of alimony is calculated not according to a mathematical formula but by the court’s weighing of various factors set forth in the statute, including the respective earning capacities, debts, and assets of the parties, the parties’ respective expenses, the parties’ respective health conditions, the quality of lifestyle enjoyed during the marriage, the duration of the marriage, the parties’ respective responsibilities for raising children, and whether one spouse contributed to the educational and professional advancement of the other spouse.

I suspect that my ex has moved in with a new romantic partner. Can I seek to terminate my alimony obligation?

Alimony is meant to be based on economic and not personal or emotional factors. If your spouse has begun cohabitating with a new romantic partner, it may serve as a basis for the court to find sufficient changed circumstances to warrant modification or termination of alimony, especially if cohabitation is expressly stated as a grounds for modification or termination in your postnuptial or marital settlement agreement or in the court’s alimony award. However, if your ex has moved in with a new partner, it does not automatically mean you are entitled to modification or termination of your alimony obligation.
