Alimony & Spousal Support

Cheyenne Spousal Support Lawyer

Spousal support, often referred to as alimony, is the financial assistance awarded to a spouse following a divorce to maintain their standard of living. As your trusted spousal support attorney in Cheyenne, we at Johnson O’Keefe are dedicated to assisting clients in navigating the complexities of obtaining fair spousal support arrangements, tailored specifically to Cheyenne’s legal guidelines.

In the delicate process of divorce, understanding the nuances of spousal support is essential. Spousal support aims to mitigate any unfair economic consequences of divorce by providing ongoing income to a non-wage-earning or lower-wage-earning spouse. This system ensures that both parties can transition to post-marital life without undue financial hardship. The courts in Wyoming are particularly attentive to each individual’s financial and personal circumstances, making skilled legal representation crucial in such cases.

How Spousal Support Works in Cheyenne

In Cheyenne, spousal support determinations consider several factors, including the length of the marriage, each party’s financial resources, and contributions to the marriage. Our team ensures that clients understand these criteria and how they uniquely apply to their situation, allowing us to craft strategies that align with Wyoming state laws and local court practices.

Wyoming law doesn’t adhere to a strict formula for calculating spousal support, which means courts have significant discretion. This flexibility highlights the importance of presenting a thoroughly prepared case that demonstrates your needs or obligations convincingly. Additionally, Cheyenne residents benefit from state policies aimed at promoting fairness and equity throughout the divorce process, and our experienced attorneys are skilled at navigating these provisions to optimize our clients’ outcomes.

“They took a very stressful situation and made it a very pleasant storm.”

I wasn’t familiar with the process of child custody but I must say not only did Myles and his team direct me properly but it was a process that wasn’t money motivated. Very professional group, I was constantly informed of any step or move needed to be made. When you have someone in your corner that understands the importance of family it makes the situation a ton easier, thank you Myles and Johnson group for everything!

“My goals and the safety of my children were always the priority to the JOK team.”

I called Johnson Law Group extremely frustrated and stressed with the process of my custody case. From the consultation to every conversation after, Elizabeth went out of her way to make sure that i was comfortable with all the matters and decisions. I highly recommend Elizabeth and the whole Johnson O’Keefe team to anyone going through custody matters. Elizabeth, Cassidy, and Paola were amazing, and made me feel like i was a friend, not just a client. I would happily use them again if needed.
