What Am I Entitled To If I’ve Been Out Of The Workforce For Many Years And My Spouse Filed For Divorce In Rochester?

If you’ve been out of the workforce for many years of your marriage, there are good odds that you will be entitled to extensive considerations in a Rochester divorce.

Maintenance, also known as alimony, will be a primary topic of discussion, and an award of temporary maintenance is likely to be made at the outset.

In addition, your spouse will likely to be ordered to pay some or all of your legal fees, and if you have been the primary caregiver to children, the court will defer to the strong bond and routine you have established in considering custody matters.

In short, you can expect that the court will try to ensure that you have the things you need to continue living comfortably after a divorce.

Working with an experienced divorce attorney is the best way to ensure that your needs are front and center when you divorce in Rochester.
