Maintenance

Depending upon the duration and circumstances of the marriage, courts may award spousal maintenance (formerly known as alimony) in a divorce. There are several types of maintenance in Illinois, each tailored to specific circumstances. Additionally, some divorce cases involving maintenance may be subject to a statutory formula regarding the amount and duration of a spousal maintenance award.

Jennifer L. Lavin, P.C. understands the importance of securing maintenance awards for spouses and can help to obtain and modify maintenance orders and initiate enforcement proceedings if a spouse has fallen behind on maintenance payments. Please contact me at (312) 919-8857 to schedule a complimentary consultation to discuss how to meet your spousal maintenance needs.
