South King County - Pierce County
Tacoma Spousal Maintenance Attorney

In divorces where there is a substantial inequality between the spouses' income, potential earning power, education, or where one spouse has been out of the workforce for an extended period, it's likely that spousal maintenance (alimony) may be granted to the party less able to generate significant earnings. If you are facing a divorce where you will either need to receive or be asked to provide maintenance, contact our Pierce County maintenance (alimony) lawyers at the Law Offices of Fleury & Associates, Family Law and Mediation, Inc.

Spousal maintenance is one of the least predictable areas of Washington divorce law. Although the statute provides a list of factors the court must consider in determining whether to grant support, how much, and for how long, the judge has considerable discretion in determining the award, provided the spousal maintenance award reflects consideration of the statutory factors.

Our Tacoma spousal maintenance lawyers, Cameron Fleury and Rachel Rolfs, are skilled with both negotiating and litigating maintenance/support issues. In many cases, it is best to negotiate spousal support at the same time as the parties seek resolution of community property division questions. In that way, both husband and wife can enjoy a greater degree of flexibility and control over these issues than might be the case if they issues are submitted to a judge for decision.

Because spousal maintenance awards are difficult to modify under Washington law, it is essential you receive dependable advice and experienced representation in cases where spousal support seems likely. Whether you are likely to be seeking, or paying, spousal maintenance, contact attorneys Cameron Fleury and Rachel Rolfs at the Law Offices of Fleury & Associates, Family Law and Mediation, Inc., in Tacoma, to see how their understanding of Washington family law can serve your needs.
