Alimony in Chatham Hill GA
Alimony is an payment out of one partys estate, made for the support of the other party when living separately. It may be either temporary or permanent.
A spouse will not be entitled to alimony if it is shown by a preponderance of the evidence that the separation between the parties was a result of that spouses adultery or desertion. In all cases where alimony is sought, the court should seek evidence of the factual cause of the separation even though one or both of the parties may seek a divorce, regardless of the grounds upon which a divorce is sought or granted by the court.
In all other cases in which alimony is sought, alimony is authorized, but is not required, to be awarded to either spouse in accordance with the requirements of the spouse and the capacity of the other party to pay. When deciding whether or not to grant alimony, the judge will consider evidence of the conduct of each spouse toward the other.
Should either party die before the courts order on the issue of alimony, all rights of the other spouse to alimony will survive and be a lien upon the estate of the deceased spouse.
