Alimony and Custody

When determining the amount of alimony, several important points should be considered, such as the income of each party, the living and economic needs of the children, and other necessary expenses. The amount should be fair and suitable for the current and future requirements of both parties.

Yes, the non-custodial parent can have visitation rights with their child, unless there is a compelling reason to prevent it, such as a threat to the child’s safety. The court usually sets a visitation schedule based on the best interest of the child.

When determining the type of custody, several factors are taken into account, including the ability of each parent to provide care, love, and attention to the child, the emotional and living stability of each parent, the child’s relationship with both parents, and the surrounding circumstances of the child’s daily life.

Yes, the amount of alimony can be modified later if there are changes in the circumstances of either parent or the children. Strong evidence must support the modification, such as a change in the income of either parent or the emergence of unforeseen circumstances affecting the child’s financial needs.

An agreement on alimony and custody issues can be reached outside of court by contacting a lawyer or legal counselor. The mediator communicates with both parties and facilitates a dialogue between them to reach an agreement that serves the interests of both parties and the child’s well-being.
