The court awards alimony on a needs-basis and takes many factors into consideration.
When determining how and if to award alimony, the judge will consider:
1. The standard of living both parties had during the marriage
2. What each spouse contributed financially during the marriage
3. How long the marriage lasted
4. Marital assets and debts, and how these will be divided among the former spouses
5. The age of the parties, and whether there are any impairments that may hinder earning an income
If you need to discuss alimony with a divorce attorney, we’re here to take your call. 📲

Inside Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin's Friendship After Their Divorce
Some of the most contentious divorce proceedings have included valuable art and antiques. These items are often considered irreplaceable and hold high emotional value to the collector. Add to that, antiques and collector’s items generally increase in value over time, making it even more complicated when attempting to divide such marital assets in a divorce.
An appraisal from an appraiser that both parties trust will be paramount. Hiring an attorney who is skilled and experienced in cases like yours will be vital as well.
Call Hackworth Law to discuss your case. We’re on your side.

In terms of child custody, “relocation” is when a parent moves 50+ miles away. If the other parent agrees to the terms of your relocation, you can avoid a court process.
However, if the other parent doesn’t agree, and you must go through the statutory process, there are several factors that could affect the judge’s decision including:
➖The child’s best interests
➖The child’s age and needs
➖The dynamic of the child’s relationship with each parent
➖How the child’s relationship with each parent might change after such a move
Whether you’re the one looking to relocate or you’re dealing with the relocation of the other parent, we’ll fight for your rights. 🙌

☝🏼Excessive and unusual spending, hiding assets, failing to pay child support, and violating custody orders are all examples of spousal misconduct during a divorce. These actions can have profound consequences.
✖️Do not engage in any misconduct during your divorce proceedings and if you suspect your soon-to-be ex is guilty of misconduct, bring it to your lawyer’s attention immediately.

While a burglary is shocking and stressful, it’s important to try to stay calm. File a report with the police immediately, report the incident to your insurance company, and thoroughly document what’s been stolen and damaged. Many insurance plans cover the items stolen as well as the damage that occurred during the break-in.
If the insurance company denies your claim, call Hackworth Law. We have years of experienced dealing with insurance companies and we’ll fight for your rights.

In most cases, if a spouse has an employer-sponsored 401(k) or pension plan, then the other spouse is entitled to part of the balance. (An exception to this is if the account holder has a prenuptial agreement that states otherwise.)
If there is no prenuptial agreement involved, one can file a Qualified Domestic Relations Order. Also known as the QDRO or “quad row,” this is a court order that directs how a spouse’s pension plan must pay the divorcing spouse’s benefits. It can also be used for child support, alimony, and property rights. The QDRO provides protections and guarantees which allow a portion of a retirement plan to be withdrawn without penalty and placed in the non-employee spouse’s retirement fund.
It’s important to know that QDROs only apply to IRS-qualified accounts that are covered by the ERISA. Other laws govern military or government pensions.

The short answer: Maybe!
A divorce decree typically has an end date listed for alimony payments that, historically, would only be changed if the recipient were to remarry or if there was an extraordinary change in circumstance.
➣However, in 2005, the legislature changed to say: “An [alimony] award may be modified or terminated based upon a substantial change in circumstances or upon the existence of a supportive relationship.”
➢This change was due to the realization that many alimony recipients were postponing marriage to their new partner in order to continue to receive alimony payments that were no longer financially necessary.
➣So, even if you are not married to your new partner, your new relationship could potentially have an effect on your alimony award if it meets certain parameters.
If you believe this situation pertains to you, call Hackworth Law today. 📲

It’s possible to make payment modifications if your timesharing plan changes and you are now enjoying more time with your child.
The details will depend on your specific situation, however, the more time a child spends overnight with you (i.e. the more food, shelter, and living expenses for the child), the more likely your financial obligation will be reduced.

When going through a divorce, a concern of many clients is providing the court with enough evidence to support their claims. 👉 The good news is, within family law cases, cell phone records and messages are admissible as evidence in court.
➕Cell phones contain all sorts of information pertaining to your relationships, interests, schedules, and behavior.
↪Therefore, a cell phone can become a large part of the discovery process during litigation.
↪The information retrieved can provide evidence of marital misconduct, dissipation of funds, unstable behavior, or even evidence of abuse.
↪This evidence can then potentially be used to support claims of alimony, child support, custody and timesharing, equitable distribution, and even injunctions for protection from domestic violence.
