Caring Illinois Maintenance/Alimony Attorneys Look Out for Your Best Interests
Dedicated lawyers seek fair spousal support arrangements for clients in the Saint Charles area
When you and your spouse divorce, there are a number of decisions that will have a long-term impact on your quality of life. Whether you and your partner try to negotiate an agreement on your own or litigate in a Illinois court, the question of whether alimony should be provided can be quite stressful. At Lengle & Nyuli, LLC, we have extensive knowledge of the laws governing spousal support and represent parties seeking payments as well as those who are being asked to provide them. No matter the particular circumstances, We work diligently to achieve an appropriate result for clients in the Saint Charles area and across Illinois.
Compassionate Illinois advocates assist with alimony/maintenance negotiations and litigation
When determining whether or not alimony/maintenance should be granted, how much should be awarded and for how long, judges appraise various factors: the length of the couple’s marriage, their standard of living during the marriage, the relative income of each individual, and the needs of each spouse. Retaining a knowledgeable and experienced family attorney can help you make a compelling case that you need support or, in other cases, that your spouse or ex-spouse does not need spousal support or no longer needs spousal support.
We advise clients on the types of alimony/maintenance that are relevant to their divorce, which may include:
- Temporary maintenance — Meant to provide support during divorce proceedings, temporary alimony helps recipient spouses address their financial needs until the case is resolved.
- Reviewable maintenance -- If a Court orders a maintenance review at some specific time in the future to determine if maintenance should be increased, decreased or terminated
- Fixed-Term maintenance -- Maintenance for a set amount of time, which terminates at the end of set time.
- Indefinite maintenance — Most common in marriages of 20+ years. This maintenance continues for an indefinite period of time but is usually modified and/or terminated based on changing financial and health circumstances of the parties.
At Lengle & Nyuli, LLC, we will work with you to determine what type(s) of maintenance might be granted in your situation. From there, we'll develop a sound strategy designed to secure you the best result possible.
Empathetic attorneys consider your financial needs and strive for your peace of mind
At Lengle & Nyuli, LLC, we represent clients who are seeking maintenance as well as those who will be required to pay it. Our clients are often concerned about whether they are required to pay maintenance if their financial or health changes. Others come to us for help if they are not receiving the maintenance payments specified by their marital settlement agreement. We can help you present evidence to the court as to why the amount you pay should be decreased or request that the court properly enforce the existing maintenance obligations. Our goal is to ensure a fair result that protects your standard of living.
