Yes, when couples divorce in Rochester, men are as able to seek alimony (called “spousal maintenance” in New York) as women are.
The deciding factor when it comes to an award of spousal maintenance is income.
If you are the lower earning spouse in the marriage, and your spouse earns enough money to pay an award of spousal maintenance, you have every right to request and expect some measure of support while you get back on your feet.
Whether you need a short term award that lets you re-establish yourself in your career or expand your education, or a longer term payment system that helps you through a chronic disease or handicap, the attorneys at Friedman & Ranzenhofer know how to get our clients the level of spousal maintenance that’s appropriate for them, regardless of gender.
