Will I Have To Pay Alimony If We Were Only Married A Few Years In Rochester?

When a marriage in Rochester has been relatively short, the odds of a higher-earning spouse having to pay spousal maintenance, also known as alimony, are greatly reduced.

If there is a reason for the spouse to pay spousal maintenance, the amount and duration of the award should be considerably less than they would be in a longer marriage.

The best way to protect yourself in a divorce is to work with an experienced divorce lawyer who puts your interests first.

We can help you get the best possible settlement in your divorce, and move on with your life as smoothly as possible.
