Wilmington Spousal Support Attorney

Post-Separation Support / Temporary Spousal Support • Alimony / Permanent Spousal Support • North Carolina Family Lawyer

Are you and your spouse planning to separate? Are you worried about maintaining your current lifestyle? Are you worried about paying your bills, including your mortgage payment or health care expenses?

Did you know that in order to maintain the lifestyle to which you become accustomed during the marriage, you may upon separation, be entitled to spousal support - either temporary post-separation support (PSS), permanent alimony, or both.

Contact me, Wilmington spousal support attorney Ted Davis, Jr., to discuss how I can help you obtain the post-separation support or alimony to which you are entitled.

Spousal support can be confusing. North Carolina law provides for temporary spousal support (post-separation support) and permanent spousal support (alimony). The law also establishes procedures for requesting alimony or post-separation support. Failure to follow these procedures could have serious consequences on your financial support. Furthermore, there are also conditions, such as re-marriage or co-habitation of the spouse receiving support, which may result in the termination of alimony or post-separation support.

Do you need immediate spousal support? A dependant spouse can apply to the court for post-separation support (temporary alimony) after separation if the party is in immediate need of support. To learn more about obtaining spousal support before your alimony hearing, contact me, Wilmington spousal support attorney Ted Davis, Jr., to schedule a consultation.

At an alimony hearing, the judge establishes the amount and duration of the obligation to pay alimony. Normally, alimony is terminated when the husband (payor) or wife (payee) dies, the wife re-marries, or the wife cohabitates. Alimony can also terminate at a time specified by the judge. Additionally, a wife entitled to receive alimony from her husband may also be entitled to receive attorneys fees from him; however, the amount of attorneys fees is in the discretion of the judge.

As you face your complicated legal dilemma concerning spousal support, I will work hard to protect your interests. I'm domestic law attorney Ted Davis, Jr., and I can help you recover everything to which you are entitled.
