General Rules: 

A postseparation support and alimony claim, often termed a spousal support claim, is generally made by a spouse who has substantially less income than the other spouse. The court will generally allow such claims when a spouse is substantially in need of maintenance and support, and the other spouse has the ability to pay support. The amount of support varies from case to case. The trial court will consider a number of factors, including fault, in determining the entitlement and amount of support. The court may also award attorney's fees to a dependent spouse who is entitled to postseparation support and alimony. Mr. Kelso is experienced in prosecuting and defending claims for postseparation support and alimony. These are serious cases that require an experienced family law attorney.

Additional Information: 

A spouse prosecuting or defending a claim for postseparation support and/or alimony will be required to complete an affidavit of financial standing that provides details of all of that spouse's expenses and income. It is important to provide an accurate list of all expenses for at least one year prior to the date of separation. Copies of wage statements, W-2 forms, and income tax returns are also generally required.

Mr. Kelso charges his normal hourly rate in postseparation support and alimony cases.
