In this episode of Advocating for Dads, host Jana Jones, an experienced family law attorney, discusses the intricacies of alimony and spousal support laws in North Carolina. Jana explains the essential classifications of spouses in a divorce — the dependent spouse, who relies on the supporting spouse’s income to sustain their standard of living, and the supporting spouse, who provides that financial support. She outlines the factors courts consider when determining alimony, including the needs of the dependent spouse and the supporting spouse's ability to pay, emphasizing that while the court aims to meet the needs of the dependent spouse, it also recognizes the financial limitations of the supporting spouse. Tune in to gain valuable insights into navigating alimony in divorce proceedings.
