Types of Support in Pennsylvania

We represent clients in all forms of support:

Spousal Support

• Support that may be paid before a divorce action is filed, based on need and income.

Alimony Pendente Lite (APL)

• Support during the divorce process to allow a lower-earning spouse to maintain stability while the case proceeds.

Post-Divorce Alimony

• Support awarded after the divorce is finalized, often for a set period of time.

• We make sure that every support order is based on accurate income calculations and realistic needs.

Key Factors Courts Consider in Alimony

Pennsylvania courts consider numerous factors when deciding support, including:

• Each spouse’s income and earning capacity

• Length of the marriage

• Contributions as a homemaker or caregiver

• Standard of living during the marriage

• Health and age of both parties

• Any history of abuse or financial misconduct

We know how to present these factors to maximize your position.
