SPOUSAL SUPPORT AND ALIMONY

Hackensack, New Jersey, Spousal Support Attorneys

In the state of New Jersey, alimony is intended to offset inequity in income or earning potential between parties after a divorce. Spousal support is not intended to punish one spouse or reward the other. In fact, spousal maintenance should ideally lead to the self-sufficiency of the receiving spouse.

At the law office of Cowen, Jacobs & Rothman, we advise and represent those assigned to pay or receive spousal support. Since conflicts can arise over the actual income of either a receiving or paying spouse, our office works closely with accountants and actuaries in evaluating our client's current financial situation. Our lawyers gather and prepare financial information and records, explaining to the court the realities of your financial situation.
