Also, it\u2019s sometimes necessary prior to community property settlement regardless of the fault of any party in the divorce. With\u00a0Louisiana Spousal Support Lawyer Harold Weiser, we can help navigate the process.<\/p><p>Spousal support laws are different in each state. Therefore, it is wise to seek a New Orleans Area attorney today at the Weiser Law Firm for answers to your alimony questions.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.haroldweiser.com\/\">Contact us<\/a>\u00a0to schedule an initial consultation call 504-358-2273<\/p><p>There are two kinds of alimony. First, there is alimony pendente lite, or alimony pending during the litigation (need-based more than fault-based). Then, after the divorce is final there is permanent alimony. However, it has limits to an amount sufficient for maintenance as opposed to a continuation of an accustomed style of living.<\/p><p>The unique idea behind alimony or spousal support was that during the separation period, there may be some isolated chance for reconciliation. The law always favors and encourages reconciliation if possible. The financial worth of the spouses is a factor.\u00a0 The hope is that a spouse would return for the right reasons. Not merely for the financial security of marriage.<\/p><h2>Adultery<\/h2><p>If a person files for\u00a0divorce\u00a0based on the other spouse having committed adultery, the adulterous spouse in that instance would very likely have to pay alimony even after the divorce. The amount of alimony would be subject to discussion and litigation and can be worked out by agreement.<\/p><p>Abuse, financial irresponsibility and fidelity issues can come into play to determine who is at fault. The person who is without fault in the divorce is able to get alimony from who has fault. This is not an issue if divorce grounds are clearly irreconcilable differences.<\/p><p>In cases including special arrangements (e.g., one spouse supported another through medical school or stayed at home to raise the children), alimony would actually be part of the\u00a0property settlement.<\/p><p>Our New Orleans, St. Bernard, Metairie, Jefferson Parish, and St. Tammany Parish spousal support lawyer can help you to obtain a fair alimony amount while ensuring that your rights are protected.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.haroldweiser.com\/\">Contact<\/a>\u00a0the Weiser Law Firm today.<\/p><p>3801 Canal Street New Orleans, Louisiana 70119\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.haroldweiser.com\/legal\/contact-page\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Contact Us<\/a><\/p><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5500ee0e elementor-widget__width-inherit elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"5500ee0e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-16847\" src=\"https:\/\/onlinewebsolutions.store\/haroldweiser\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Logo-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" srcset=\"https:\/\/onlinewebsolutions.store\/haroldweiser\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Logo-1.jpg 960w, https:\/\/onlinewebsolutions.store\/haroldweiser\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Logo-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/onlinewebsolutions.store\/haroldweiser\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Logo-1-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>504-358-2273 For A Free Consultation 504-358-2273 For A Free Consultation Spousal Support Home Louisiana Spousal Support Lawyer Spousal support can start prior to divorce.
