DIVORCE AND TYPES OF ALIMONY
DIVORCE AND TYPES OF ALIMONY

A client came into my Brentwood, TN office and asked what type of alimony she will receive.  She told me her sister was divorced and received alimony in solido of $5,000 per month.  So, she assumed she would receive that type and amount of alimony.  I explained that each case is unique and depending on the case issues, the type of alimony, the amount and duration will be customized to that case.  The attorney in our office explained the various types and pros and cons of each.  He also suggested she look online for details of the types of alimony in TN as there is a wealth of information online.

If you are divorcing, I suggest you not compare your situation with a freind's divorce as the details of each case are unique.  Focus on the numbers and confirm your monthly expenses. Then, you will realize what amount of alimony you need to be financailly secure.  This knowledge will reduce your anxiety and instill financial confidence.
