Kane County Spousal Maintenance & Alimony Attorney
Spousal maintenance, often called alimony, can be one of the most contested parts of a divorce. We fight for a fair result.
Under 750 ILCS 5/504, when combined gross income is below $500,000, Illinois uses a guideline formula: roughly 33 1/3% of the payor's net income minus 25% of the payee's net income, capped so the payee's total stays at or below 40% of combined net income. Duration is the length of the marriage multiplied by a statutory factor.
Whether you may pay or receive maintenance, we make sure income is characterized correctly and advocate for the right amount and duration. Try our free maintenance calculator for an estimate.
