Q. WILL HUSBAND HAVE TO PAY ALIMONEY IF IM UNABLED TO WORK

March 31, 2013

A: There are four types of alimony. These are:

1. Transitional Alimony which is used in short-term marriages and intended to help the financially disadvantaged spouse transition into the post-divorce lifestyle. Transitional alimony is not modifiable, but may terminate upon conditions if set by the court such as remarriage or cohabitation. Transitional alimony can be deemed taxable to the recipient and tax-deductible to the payor if stated as such in the decree.

2. Rehabilitative Alimony is intended to improve the earning capacity of the financially disadvantaged spouse. This type of alimony is modifiable after the entry the decree in some cases. This type of alimony is taxable to the recipient and tax-deductible to the payor.

3. Alimony in Solido is a nontaxable and non-modifiable lump sum payment of alimony.

4. Alimony in Futuro is periodic payments of support which are taxable to the recipient and tax-deductible to the payor. This type of alimony is reserved for long term marriages, such as yours, in most cases. Alimony in Futuro may be modified by either party after the final decree in some cases. This type of alimony shall terminate upon the death of other party or remarriage of the recipient.

Q. My niece has been arrested in Fayette County Tennessee for child abuse. Does she need a lawyer?

March 23, 2013

A: Yes. She absolutely needs an attorney. Child abuse is a horrible crime for which sympathy is rarely granted. Whether your niece is guilty of the offense for which he is charged, or if she is wrongfully accused; she needs to be represented by an experienced criminal defense attorney. A good Criminal Defense Attorney can help her explain her position and plan her defense strategy. She should not speak with DCS, law enforcement or anyone else about this other than through her attorney. Please see my website at www.milazolaw.com
