When Is Spousal Support Appropriate?
Spousal support is only appropriate when some financial imbalance needs to be addressed.
One of the most common situations in which spousal support is necessary is when one spouse works during the marriage while the other stays home to raise the children or only works part-time.
The spouse who worked will have an easier time adjusting to the costs of life after divorce than the spouse who did not work. The stay-at-home parent may need to return to school or seek other resources to find employment. In the meantime, spousal support is designed to help cover living costs.
What Are the Different Types of Alimony?
In Massachusetts, four types of alimony can be awarded:
- General term: regular period payment to a financially dependent spouse.
- Rehabilitative: meant to support a spouse until they become economically self-sufficient, usually granted when the recipient is expected to join the workforce after gaining the necessary skills or training.
- Reimbursement: granted to compensate a spouse who contributed to the financial resources of the other spouse during the marriage, such as paying for their career education or training.
- Transitional: meant to help a spouse adjust to a new lifestyle or location following the divorce.

"Jay and the firm have cared about my specific needs as a client."I have used the services of Davis Law Group a number of times during the past 20 years and found them to be an extremely professional and caring law firm.

Whereas some law firms use boiler plates and treat clients as transactions, Jay and the firm have cared about my specific needs as a client and customized to those needs. I highly recommend this firm.- Rob

"They have always done right by us."Three generations of my family have trusted Davis Law Group with our legal needs and they have always done right by us. Since April I have been working non-stop with Mary Anne McGonagle and Jay Davis to navigate and probate an excruciatingly-complicated estate. Both Mary Anne and Jay have gone out of their way numerous times on my behalf and have vigorously protected my interests in the face of some fairly significant headwinds. I could not be more thankful for, and appreciative of, their attention and the care they have demonstrated for my family.- Bryan

"What she did was truly above and beyond my expectation."I benefited a lot from a recent consultation with Mary Anne. She is very knowledgeable in the area of landlord-tenant law, but what expressed me the most is her ethics. Although it was a free consultation, she still took it very seriously and spent the time to read my files prior to the call. During the session, she made complex legal issues easy to understand, analyzed my case and offer very good advice. She also worked very hard and communicated with me even after her normal work hours. What she did was truly above and beyond my expectation.- Anonymous
