Spousal maintenance, which is commonly known as alimony, has changed a lot over the years. As gender roles are being challenged and reevaluated with every passing year, it is not uncommon today for men to also receive spousal maintenance from their ex-wives. So, it is in the best interest of each separating partner to seek legal representation to protect their financial future.

Lisa Amundson explains why clients shouldn’t hesitate to give her a call and schedule an initial consultation by saying, “Divorce is a huge life event that will forever change it in unexpected ways. It is undoubtedly overwhelming to even consider the prospect that your life may soon go through such an upheaval. However, the more you delay the inevitable, the harder it will be for you to gain lost ground. Building a legal case requires time and by hesitating to seek legal guidance, you are robbing yourself of the chance to come out stronger on the other end of this tumultuous time in your life. So, make sure to call up an experienced child support lawyer with a proven track record to get a head start on your upcoming legal battle.”

Spousal maintenance is of two types. Temporary spousal maintenance, also known as rehabilitative maintenance, is awarded for a specific timeframe to assist in the education, job training, or skills of the receiving party so that they can work towards supporting themselves in the future. Permanent spousal maintenance is awarded for an indefinite amount of time, typically when the marriage can be considered "long-term". Permanent maintenance is awarded in cases where the receiving spouse is not capable of self-support based on what they earned while married.

Spousal maintenance and, in some cases, child support can also be "reserved". This delays the discussion of the spousal support maintenance schedule to a later time and date to keep the divorce proceedings moving forward smoothly. It may require additional legal support. Only an experienced family law attorney who has years of experience in handling divorce cases, such as Lisa Amundson, will be able to look at the specifics of a case for their client and determine whether this deferment is in their best interest.

Child custody attorney Lisa Amundson then goes on to describe what her clients can expect from her in the free initial consultation that she offers by saying, “We will listen to you intently if you are currently facing a divorce or any other family law issue. If it is your first time talking to a lawyer, we will listen to the specifics of your case and will gladly answer any questions that you may have about the legal process. The initial consultation is also when you get to ascertain whether you would like us to guide you through your imminent legal situation. If you feel like our law office is what you have been looking for, I will walk you through what to expect in terms of process, timeline, and how much you can expect to pay in legal fees. The earlier you contact us in the timeline of your divorce, the better we will be able to serve you. This is especially important if you have significant tangible or liquid assets that will likely complicate the divorce proceedings as you may have to pay spousal support, child support, or both.”
