Las Vegas, Nevada, Spousal Support Lawyers
Your divorce may or may not involve spousal support — or spousal maintenance — decisions. This type of support varies greatly from case to case, and unlike child support, there is no mandated formula to which the courts must adhere. Rather, the judge will consider various factors to determine the amount and type of support. At The Dickerson Law Group, we are committed to obtaining reasonable spousal support determinations.

Or, contact us online and someone from our firm will be in touch with you promptly. We arrange consultation appointments during business hours to fit your schedule.
What factors are involved in an alimony decision?
The Dickerson Law Group has an established reputation with judges and other attorneys. When we take a position on an issue, judges and even opposing counsel know that we take this position for valid reasons. Spousal support is not determined by a set formula. If you are going through a divorce, it is vital to have attorneys on your side who can advocate vigorously on your behalf. Factors that will be considered in spousal support determinations include the following:
- Length of marriage
- Health of spouses
- Earning capacities of spouses
- Educational levels of spouses
Are there different types of spousal support?
Our attorneys can help you understand the different types of spousal support. Support can be awarded on a temporary basis during the divorce process or on a limited basis after the divorce has been finalized. Support can be awarded for rehabilitative purposes. For example, one spouse may be granted support while they finish their education or secure employment. Support can also be awarded permanently. Payments can vary from monthly payments to one lump sum payment.
The Dickerson Law Group can answer your questions about spousal support and seek fair determinations of support on your behalf. Contact us to schedule your consultation.
