Oklahoma City Family Divorce Lawyer

OKLAHOMA CITY PERMANENT ALIMONY LAWYER

You gave up your career and dedicated your life to your family, raising your children full time and supporting your spouse in his or her financial endeavors. Now you are facing a divorce, which is already emotionally devastating. But what’s more, you are suddenly expected to support yourself and your children after being out of the workforce for years. If this is your situation, talk to your Oklahoma City family lawyer immediately about the possibility of permanent alimony.

The Support You Need

Alimony, or spousal support, is when a certain sum of financial support is paid from one spouse to another, usually on a monthly basis. Permanent or long-term Alimony is paid indefinitely, usually until remarriage of the alimony recipient or the death of either ex-spouse. In Oklahoma, permanent alimony is the most common form of alimony awarded.

Not everyone is eligible for permanent alimony. Since Oklahoma is a “no-fault” divorce state, the court usually won’t consider reasons for divorce when deciding on alimony payments. Instead, whether or not you will receive alimony depends on several factors such as salary and need. If you and your spouse both worked and made comparable salaries, it is likely that neither of you will receive alimony. Your Oklahoma City alimony lawyer can tell you if permanent alimony is an option for you.
