Alimony and equitable distribution are decided in the same divorce, and what a spouse receives in property can affect what they receive in support. A spouse who keeps the marital home or a large share of retirement assets may have a weaker case for ongoing alimony, because the court considers the full financial picture.
This interplay means alimony cannot be negotiated in isolation from the rest of the settlement. An alimony attorney at Brodzki Jacobs can help you see how support and property division connect in your case. Call 954-932-8300 to discuss it.
