My niece is going through a divorce and she is employed, can she seek spousal maintenance?

No one wants to go through a divorce. However, in many cases, it's the best option for all involved. Maybe you and your partner aren't happy together and would rather separate, move on, and live your best lives. This is entirely possible and, in my experience, it's actually what ends up happening in the majority of cases. The main thing you need to achieve a successful divorce is empathy, honesty, and compassion.

Don't try to take more than you deserve. For instance, if children are involved, then you need to be reasonable and accept that you can't see them all the time. They'll need to split their time between each parent. In order to protect your interests, you definitely need to go and hire a family law attorney. Lawyers exist to ensure all processes are properly followed and that everyone's rights are protected so as to ensure a fair and successful divorce.

Hello, Sandra -

I suggest you pose your question to your contact with the ISD office. You have not indicated the US state where you reside, so it is not possible to check the laws and state agency rules which would apply to your situation and that of your nephew.

You may also wish to seek out the assistance of a family law attorney in your area regarding your situation.

Note: Fixya.com, where you have posted your question, is a website intended for asking and answering questions about how to go about REPAIRING THINGS. I chose to answer your question as a kindness.

Best wishes.
