Winchester Spousal Support Lawyer
Your Trusted Attorney for Alimony and Spousal Maintenance in Virginia

Spousal support, also referred to as "alimony" or "maintenance." can be one of the issues in a divorce that keeps the matter from resolving amicably. At Buchbauer & McGuire, P.C., our Winchester, Virginia spousal support lawyers will be by your side every step of the way. From initial consultation to the conclusion of your case, we offer skilled representation and guidance.
The Court may order that spousal support be paid periodically or in a lump sum. Spousal support may be awarded without regard to the reason for the breakdown of the marriage, although a person who commits adultery is presumed to be barred from receiving spousal support.
For detailed information on how we can help your alimony case, call our spousal support lawyers at (540) 508-8995 or contact us online today. We also serve residents of Shenandoah Valley and the surrounding areas.
Understanding How Spousal Support is Determined in Virginia
Temporary spousal support may be granted from the date of separation until a divorce is finalized. In determining temporary spousal support, the Court uses a guideline calculation based on the parties’ gross monthly income but also considers the payee’s needs and the payor’s ability to pay.
