Lowell Attorneys Handling Matters of Property Division and Alimony
At Ilg & Devore, P.C., we have extensive experience representing clients throughout Massachusetts in matters of property division. In our state, marital property is generally divided equitably during a divorce. Equitable distribution does not necessarily mean 50/50. It means fair distribution. Judges have a great deal of discretion, and they weigh a series of factors to determine what is fair in your divorce.
It is critical to have a strong advocate on your side in a Massachusetts divorce — someone who will advocate for you — helping the judge see the factors to be considered from your perspective.
At our Lowell, Massachusetts, law firm, we are zealous advocates for our clients. Our attorneys are well equipped to handle property division matters, even when they become complex. This often occurs when couples have acquired significant assets during their marriages. As experienced attorneys, we help protect our clients' interests in the division of assets like retirement accounts, pensions, businesses and real estate holdings.
Spousal Support
Spousal support — often referred to as alimony — is ordered in some divorces, depending on circumstances. Usually, spousal support becomes an issue when marriages have spanned years. In these cases, a spouse has sacrificed his or her career to raise children or to further the other spouse's career. Spousal support helps to compensate this spouse for his or her time. It also helps the spouse to become self supporting or to continue the standard of living to which he or she became accustomed during the marriage.
If spousal support is likely to be an issue in your divorce, it is important to talk with an attorney as soon as possible. A lawyer can help protect your interests, making sure that you achieve the best possible outcome to this often-complicated matter.
