Richmond, VA asked in Divorce for Virginia

Q: Temporary alimony

My wife and I are currently separated if she files for temporary alimony will the judge automatically grant her temporary support just because she files. What if any are the guidelines for her to receive temporary alimony support? She kicked me out of the house against my will.

A: Alimony is based on a list of thirteen factors in Virginia. Whether alimony will be awarded is a highly fact intensive inquiry, and you need to hire a lawyer if you want a thorough analysis of your case. Reach out to a lawyer you can trust for guidance.
