What Are The Benefits of Asking for Alimony?
What are the benefits of asking for alimony?
When you're going through a divorce, it feels like you're being asked to choose between two evils: asking for alimony or walking away with nothing. It's easy to feel like you're in an impossible position and that you have to do one or the other. But there are benefits to asking for alimony that might make it seem less daunting or scary and more like a positive decision—particularly as making it through your divorce with as much of your dignity intact as possible is important, too. Alimony is a way for you to get some financial assistance from your ex-spouse when you need it, most, especially if one of you has been supporting the other financially and now will be raising children on a smaller income than usual while also trying to rebuild your career or business. You can ask for this assistance even if you had an equal-earning partnership before marriage.
