Money is one of the most challenging things to resolve during a divorce in Kentucky. At the Law Offices of Jan Kreutzer, I help spouses — throughout Northern Kentucky — reach an agreement about rehabilitative maintenance from my office in Newport.

You should consider collaborative law as an alternative to traditional divorce litigation. It allows you and your spouse to come up with an agreement that you both can agree upon.

As a lawyer who understands how complex issues about spousal maintenance — also called alimony or spousal support — can be during a divorce, I will do what is necessary to resolve issues through the collaborative process. My firm uses mediation and collaborative law to reach an agreement that both parties can live with in a divorce.

Rehabilitative Maintenance in Kentucky Divorces

In Kentucky, courts can award spouses with what is called rehabilitative maintenance — commonly referred to as alimony. This form of financial support is available to allow spouses the chance to better their position to make a decent living. In some situations, this is available until a spouse reaches retirement age — this is especially true for older individuals who would have a difficult time in reentering the workforce.

There are no set formulas available to the court to calculate rehabilitative maintenance. The court will consider the spouse's ability to pay compared to a spouse's need. The goal is to provide the same standard of living enjoyed by the spouse during marriage until he or she can earn a living independently.
