People starting a new life after a marriage ends need the support of friends, family and others to get through what can be a very challenging time. They may also need financial assistance from their spouse. In many divorces, where one spouse may have sacrificed income and earning potential to provide the invaluable gift of raising a family, that spouse may need additional economic resources to start his or her new life. Alimony, also called spousal support, can be awarded in an Iowa divorce to help a spouse get on their feet or compensate them for the sacrifices they may have made during the marriage that allowed the other spouse to build their career.
For those seeking spousal support or those from whom alimony is requested, the divorce and family law firm of Simpson Legal Group, LLC in Council Bluffs can help establish and maintain spousal support arrangements that are fair and allow both parties to move forward with their lives.
There are three types of alimony that can be awarded in an Iowa divorce; which kind of support will be awarded, as well as the amount and duration of such support, is determined by evaluating many factors established by Iowa law.
An Iowa judge will weigh a number of factors in determining whether alimony will be awarded and if so, how much and for how long. These factors include:
