Usually, the amount and duration of payments depend on the ability of the obligor (person paying alimony) to make payments, as well as the economic need of the obligee (person receiving spousal support). So, both spouses have important legal and financial rights in this area. However, these rights are just ink on paper unless a Sarasota alimony attorney from Carman, Bevington & Finegan, P.A. enforces them. An attorney analyzes your financial situation and, based on the facts, comes up with effective, long-term solutions that benefit you and your new family, now and in the future.
