In a divorce suit it’s not uncommon to notice that interests of men take a backseat as too often family lawyers, and even judges, have resigned themselves to stereotypes and a perpetuation of the status quo. The mentality is quite malicious and conscious but the hard fact is that it is prevalent all across the world. Even men need to protect their interests along with the interests of their children.

The feminist movement has further aggravated the situation for men as their shrill insistence on women's interests somewhere adds to the utter exclusion of the underlying merits of a given case. Thus its clear that men in divorce suits stand to loose unless an attorney like Cordell and Cordell aggressively champions the case of men in the courtroom.

Given the scenario in the society today the judicial system is quite prone to assume that moms should be the primary custodial parents. This is quite against the feelings and facts from the father's side. If men have been accused of abuse it’s taken at face value and if men accuse women of abuse the thinking among the general public is that they are lying and overreacting. In times when almost every human being is treated as an equal in the eyes of law still women are treated in a way that they can’t generate as much income as men can. A man is considered as less deserving for the assets earned by a woman.

Although Divorce is a painful process still there are  times and circumstances where one has to undergo this pain  to make life worth living. There are attorneys and law  firms that will make the divorce process and other  processes connected to divorce a comfortable and not so  painful activity for an individual.Cordell &  Cordell is one such firm that believes that ones rights need to be protected with legal methods and practices that are considered ethical in the society.Cordell &  Cordell is an expert in the arena of Spousal support or alimony as it is called in legal terminology. 

 

Alimony is the amount of money that is decided by the  court after the dissolution of marriage of two  individuals. This is generally awarded to the wife. If the  husband is the primary breadwinner and has made a lot of  money there are good chances that the wife will ask for a  good amount of money as alimony. In case both the partners  are earning then the alimony will depend on the difference  in the earnings and the time period they have been  married. More the number of years of marriage more will be  the alimony. 

 

There are times when clients will be anxious to know if  maintenance will be awarded to the spouse? Maintenance  will surely be awarded if the spouse does not have  adequate property for her needs and expenses. The  employment angle is also checked and the case for  maintenance grows stronger in case the spouse is unable to  support herself with appropriate employment. 

 

There are many factors that go in determining the alimony  by the court. The court is bound by law and common  understanding that it considers the length of the marriage  while determining the alimony. The age and health of the  parties involved is also taken into consideration.  Division of property is yet another factor that is taken  into account while determining the alimony. The education  level along with earning capacity of the parties at the  time of marriage and at the time of determining the  alimony also plays an important role in deciding the  alimony.

 

Pre marital and Post Marital agreements either mutual or  decided through the courts also play an important role in  deciding the alimony for the individual. Maintenance can  be ordered as either a substitute of property division or  a short term support to aid the divorced spouse in  becoming self sufficient. In many cases the maintenance  may also be life long in case the spouse is not able to  support herself due to reasons of age, unemployment,  disability or health reasons.
