Las Vegas Rehabilitative Alimony Lawyer
Rehabilitative Alimony under NRS 125.210(9)
Serving Las Vegas, North Las Vegas, Henderson, Overton, Moapa Valley, Mesquite, Laughlin and all of Clark County
In a divorce case, the Court must consider the need to grant alimony to a spouse for the purpose of obtaining training or education relating to a job, career or profession (often called “rehabilitative alimony”). The purpose of rehabilitative alimony is to help the lower income spouse adjust and become self-sufficient. In additional to other factors considered by the court in awarding alimony, when considering whether to award rehabilitative alimony the Court must consider these additional factors:
- Whether the spouse who would pay such alimony has obtained greater job skills or education during the marriage; and
- Whether the spouse who would receive such alimony provided financial support while the other spouse obtained job skills or education.
Our lawyers are experienced in representing both men and women in high income and high net worth divorce cases where the chances of awarding temporary spousal support or alimony are more common. We represent clients throughout Las Vegas and the surrounding areas of Clark County. Call us to schedule a consultation. Learn how alimony might be decided in your case and what you should do early in the case to ensure a more favorable outcome. Call (725) 999-6468 today to discuss your case.
