Divorce can create financial strain, especially if you have a disability. Our client, who is disabled, faced dire financial straits when their ex sought spousal maintenance.
Courts consider many factors when determining whether to award spousal maintenance in Colorado, including the length of the marriage, each spouse’s ability to earn money, and the paying spouse’s ability to pay the support.
These factors were important to this case. Fortunately, our Family Law team was able to shield our disabled client from this extra burden. Our attorneys also managed to negotiate the final orders so our client could keep the marital home.
