Alimony Attorneys for Men
Spousal maintenance, also called alimony in Michigan, is the legal term for money one spouse or former spouse may be required to pay the other spouse after divorce. While spousal maintenance may be set for life, it is generally awarded for a specific period of time.
Traditional gender stereotypes cast the man as the breadwinner and the wife as the stay-at-home mother who needs spousal maintenance until she can get on her feet. This is clearly no longer an accurate description of many families in this country; however, some judges and attorneys may still harbor preconceived notions about spousal maintenance, which can put the man at a disadvantage.
