Boston Spousal Support and Alimony/Palimony Attorney

At Mark Harris Ruby Attorney At Law, in Boston, Massachusetts, we focus on conciliatory negotiation with a focus on resolution. Divorce does not have to be a fight over money matters, particularly alimony.

Factors in Determining Alimony

Alimony is also known as spousal maintenance or spousal support. While child support is based on a strict calculation, alimony is determined based on specific financial needs, maintaining the lifestyle enjoyed in the marriage and length of the marriage overall.

Tax considerations are taken into account as well as alimony is deductible for the payer and the recipient must declare it as income on their tax returns. With all those factors involved in determining alimony, conflicts can easily occur.

Resolving Conflicts Related to Alimony

At Mark Harris Ruby Attorney At Law, we provide over two decades of experience with conflict resolution. No greater conflict can occur than when two spouses are in dispute over money. While a judge can easily make the decision for you and your spouse, you also have the option of reaching an agreement by negotiating an agreement without litigation.
