    Legal Assistance for Alimony

    Alimony is financial support paid to a former spouse. There are different types of alimony in South Carolina. Permanent, periodic alimony is paid on a regular schedule over time. Alimony terminates on the death of either party or when the receiving spouse begins to cohabitate or decides to remarry. This alimony is modifiable based on a showing of a substantial change in circumstances.

    Some spouses can choose to pay a lump sum alimony which is an agreed upon set amount. This can usually be paid in one payment or in a schedule of payments. Spousal support may be ordered pending a final divorce.

    Sometimes in life you end up in situations that you never imagined and for me that was going through a divorce. Lauren and her team were prepared every step of the process and made sure all of my options were explained and understood. I can’t thank them enough for helping get my case settled before trial. A great team to work with and have on your side at a time of need.
