Las Vegas Alimony Attorneys
Alimony & Spousal Support Lawyers in Clark County, NV
Alimony or spousal support are financial obligations one spouse may have to pay the other during or following a Nevada divorce. This obligation is not automatic. If you believe you need alimony, you must request it in divorce. The courts determine whether it will be awarded, its amount, and duration on a case-by-case basis.
Spousal support is the support one spouse pays to the other pending litigation. Alimony is one spouse’s payment to another to compensate for lost income in a divorce. The amount of alimony you will have to contribute or may receive will depend entirely on your unique situation, including, but not limited to, your job, income, age, education, and the length of your marriage.
While spouses may agree on the amount of alimony to be paid during negotiations, this matter is left up to a judge if an agreement cannot be made.
In either case, the backing of a qualified divorce attorney to help you through the nuances of your case can be crucial. Naimi Mullins Law Group offers legal support services for those determining spousal maintenance or alimony in their divorce. Our attorneys can help you fight against paying alimony based on your current financial situation or help you seek alimony based on your current income.

Termination of Alimony in Nevada
Alimony can be terminated under several circumstances in Nevada. Most commonly, alimony ends when the term specified in the divorce decree is reached, if the receiving spouse remarries, or upon the death of either spouse.
Also, alimony may be reduced or terminated if the recipient spouse cohabitates with another person in a relationship akin to a marriage, which may change the financial support needed.
The paying spouse can also petition the court for a modification or termination of alimony if there is a significant change in circumstances, such as a job loss, a substantial decrease in income, or the retirement of the paying spouse.
Both parties should be aware that the specific terms of the alimony agreement can also outline particular conditions for termination or modification. It is essential to understand these terms clearly; our attorneys can advise you on this matter.
