In a divorce or separation involving children, one parent will commonly be required to pay child support to the other. Both New Jersey and Pennsylvania have statutory guidelines that establish parents’ minimum child support obligations based upon the children’s needs, the parents’ incomes and a variety of other factors.
Alimony (spousal support) is quite different. Generally speaking, when it comes to alimony, there is more flexibility in terms of the parties’ ability to negotiate or fight for their desired support rights and obligations in court. However, there are limitations here as well, and securing a favorable alimony award requires a thorough understanding of both (i) applicable law, and (ii) how the alimony award will factor into the overall outcome of your divorce.
