Alimony/Spousal Support

Alimony, or spousal support, represents a legal obligation to provide financial assistance to a former spouse following marital separation or divorce under Indian law. This financial support is intended to help the lower-earning or financially dependent partner maintain a standard of living comparable to what was enjoyed during the marriage.

The concern over alimony can be overwhelming during a divorce or separation, making it crucial to have skilled legal representation to navigate this complex issue. Our Alimony/Spousal Support Lawyers are adept at addressing the financial dimensions of divorce, committed to helping you understand your rights and secure a favorable financial settlement.

To qualify for alimony, the requesting partner must provide evidence to the court justifying their need for financial support. The court evaluates multiple factors to determine the appropriate amount of alimony. These factors include the total duration of the marriage, which helps gauge the extent of financial interdependence and the impact of the separation.

The lifestyle of each partner before and after the marriage is considered to assess how the divorce might affect their ability to maintain a similar standard of living. Additionally, the court reviews the financial needs of the requesting partner and the paying partner’s capacity to provide support.

Career or income sacrifices made by the requesting partner for the benefit of the family, such as staying home to care for children, are also taken into account. This includes assessing any potential loss of income or career opportunities.

The income, both direct and indirect, and the financial assets of each spouse are thoroughly examined, alongside any existing debts. The age and health of both partners are crucial factors as they can affect earning potential and financial needs. The roles and responsibilities undertaken by each spouse during the marriage, including any domestic contributions or professional sacrifices, are considered to ensure a fair evaluation.
