Unlike child support, there isn't a rigid framework for calculating spousal support in Maryland. There are a number of factors that the courts will consider, but no guidelines, such as there are for child support, to determine spousal support in one way or another. When considering an alimony plan, the courts will consider the ability of each spouse to provide for themselves, including age, health, education and work history. The cause of the divorce is one of the factors the court considers.
It is important to come up with the right spousal support plan. We will work with financial planners and CPAs who can help us analyze tax implications and to determine whether or not there are hidden assets that could impact your plan. We will also take a closer look at your own finances, to demonstrate what you have to do to protect your own financial future.
