Product Description

Alimony and support can be a confusing concept for clients. Practitioners are often asked if a client should waive it, pay it monthly, or buyout for a lump sum or use other assets? Who is entitled to receive support and what if the parties have children?

This seminar provides both experienced and new practitioners with what you need to know about alimony.

• How do the Child Support Guidelines revision affect alimony?
• How have the percentages changed due to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act?
• How should alimony be handled in prenuptial or postnuptial agreements?

This experienced panel dives deep into these and other issues related to alimony. Come away from this program with a better understanding of the steps you need to take to protect your client. Don't miss this opportunity to advance your skills in this area of family law practice!
