How to Deal With an Unreliable Parent
In Indiana a child visitation schedule is made with the interest of the child as most important in the equation. Parent-child time is looked at as the right of the child, not the parent. When a visitation agreement cannot be maintained, it may need to be modified by the court. A parent who regularly prepares [...]

Child Support Gold-Diggers
Carey Roberts writes about paternity fraud, for example: “Consider the paternity scam. Here’s how it works: Find any dim-witted man to get you pregnant. Then look up the name of some unsuspecting Joe who’s got a steady job – it doesn’t matter that you never met the poor bloke. Put his name on the baby’s [...]

Challenges of the Adoption Process
Adoption can be very difficult for all parties involved. Of course everyone’s main interest should be the child, but there are times when things just don’t go the way you might think. For example, when a child is placed in a foster home what happens when the child gets attached? I know of woman who [...]

If you desire guidance as to your right to receive or your responsibility to pay alimony in a Indiana divorce case, contact Rossville family law lawyer Tony Zirkle for legal guidance and thorough representation.

At all thirteen Indiana locations of The Law Offices of Tony Zirkle, we always make a thoughtful inspection of your family law issues and counsel you about alimony after examining the facts regarding each spouse's income and ability for self-sufficiency. Under Indiana law, a divorcing spouse's right to financial support is ascertained according to one spouse's necessities and the other spouse's ability to pay. However, in most cases, alimony payments are awarded for no more than 3 years because 3 years is regarded as the greatest period necessary for a spouse who has been out of work for a long duration.

Yet, it should be noted that, in a long-term marriage, where the spouse who needs spousal maintenance payments was a stay-at-home mother or father for a long duration, and is now too old to effectively contend the job market, alimony payments might be court ordered for more than 3 years and may even be awarded permanently, subject to periodic review by the family court.

Age, education, disability, and work history are all factors that will be considered when deciding whether alimony should be ordered and when deciding the length of the of alimony payments. Additionally, in cases where it is clear that the court will order alimony for a period extending beyond 3 years, it is usually wise to negotiate spousal maintenance payments collectively with division of the marital assets. Considerations such as marginal tax rates, capital gains, and additional items may be mirrored in the negotiated settlement so they can be maximized in the overall value of the marital estate for each spouse.

It is important to remember that alimony payments cease upon the remarriage of the spouse getting maintenance, but alimony payments always can be modified in the meantime upon a demonstrating fundamentally changed circumstances. Indeed, these changes can recognize a large increase or decrease in one spouse´s income, health problems, or other conditions indicating changes either in the receiving spouse's needs or the paying spouse's ability to continue living with the original level of support.

Whether negotiated or ordered by the court, alimony payments may be instituted through the family court's contempt power. For experienced and trustworthy client service in a divorce case that likely will present disputes concerning spousal maintenance, contact The Law Offices of Tony Zirkle in Rossville, Clinton County, Indiana.
