FAQ
California Alimony California determines alimony based on the recipient's “marital standard of living,” which aims to allow the spouse to continue living in a similar manner as during the marriage.
Some methods for terminating alimony payments in Michigan include: Show your spouse has remarried — State law says you can ask the courts to terminate your alimony payments if your spouse has remarried. Ask for a termination date in your divorce decree — You should not have to support your ex-spouse forever.
So a spouse's adultery can have a direct impact on whether a judge believes alimony is warranted in a case. At first blush that might seem like contradictory thinking—the state prohibits using adultery as a reason to get a divorce, but allows it to come into play in alimony decisions.
Under MI law, for a person to have an emotional distress claim, there has to be an underlying tort or physical injury. There has to be something that causes the emotional distress - like a physical threat or injury to you (threat of an assault or an assault would be an example).
With that being said, you may prove your spouse's emotional abuse in the following ways: Take videos of incidents of your spouse's emotional abuse playing out. Collect copies of digital evidence (i.e., voicemails, text messages, emails, etc.) that point to your spouse's emotional abuse towards you.
In many cases, emotional abuse can factor in when a final divorce deal is reached. Things like child custody, visitation schedules, and property division can all be decided with an emotionally abusive partner's behavior in mind.
Judges consider multiple factors when determining alimony, such as the behavior of both parties while married, the ability of both parties to work, the financial history of the marriage, and more.
Alimony law in the Michigan statutes does not give an amount of time in Michigan to be married to get alimony. The court does take the length of the marriage, along with other factors, when determining spousal support. A party is more likely to be awarded permanent support for long-term marriages.
Navigating the Spousal Support Negotiation Process Effective communication is the cornerstone of any negotiation. Both spouses should openly discuss their financial situations, concerns, and expectations. Additionally, attempts to hide assets or other financial factors will end up working against you in court.
