Connecticut Alimony Attorney

Spousal support, also known as alimony, is often one of the most contentious issues in a divorce. Whether you are seeking spousal support or defending against excessive demands, having an attorney experienced in negotiating and litigating these matters is crucial. As a Connecticut family law attorney with a proven track record in spousal support cases, I provide skillful representation to protect your interests and reach your financial goals.

Mastering the Complexities of Spousal Support

Spousal support decisions can have a significant impact on your financial future. These cases often involve detailed analysis of each spouse’s income, earning potential, and financial needs. With experience handling complex income forms such as self-employment earnings, business income, and investment portfolios, I am well-equipped to present a clear, accurate picture of your financial situation.  No matter how old you are at the time of your divorce, achieving a fair and equitable spousal support arrangement is critical for your financial future, no matter what side you’re on.

I represent clients in a wide variety of spousal support matters, including:

• Initial Spousal Support Orders: Securing an agreement through negotiation or collaboration, or strategically presenting your position in court to optimize your outcome.
• Modification of Existing Support Orders: Advocating for changes to support orders when financial circumstances shift due to job loss, retirement, injury or health problems.
• Complex Income Cases: Handling cases where income is not straightforward, such as self-employment, partnerships, stock options, or substantial passive income sources.
• Enforcement of Support Orders: Taking legal action to collect on unpaid support when obligations are not met.

Highly-Skilled in Complex Income Structures and Financial Disclosures

When calculating spousal support, it’s critical to accurately assess income, especially in high-asset or high-income cases where financial structures are more complex. I have extensive experience with complex financial matters, including:

• Business Income and Self-Employment: Accurately assessing income from businesses and self-employment can be challenging. I work closely with financial experts and forensic accountants to ensure that all relevant income is considered.
• Investment and Passive Income: Whether your financial situation involves rental properties, dividends, or other forms of passive income, I work to ensure that all assets and income streams are properly accounted for in spousal support negotiations.
• Hidden Assets and Income: In contentious cases, hidden or underreported income can complicate negotiations. I’m skilled at uncovering these assets to ensure that a fair support arrangement is reached.

Experienced Negotiation and Aggressive Litigation

I understand that no two cases are the same. In some situations, spousal support disputes can be resolved through negotiation or mediation, allowing both parties to reach a mutually beneficial agreement. However, if negotiations break down, I am prepared to litigate aggressively in court to protect your financial future. With extensive courtroom experience, I know how to present complex financial evidence and build a compelling case on your behalf.
