Alimony

Alimony is an award for the payment of support and maintenance of a spouse or former spouse, periodically or in a lump sum, for a specified period or for an indefinite term, ordered in an action for divorce, whether absolute or from bed and board, or in an action for alimony without divorce. In addition to establishing the existence of a dependent/supporting spouse relationship, the court will also consider many other factors such as the spouses’ relative earnings and capacity to earn, education level of the dependent spouse, contributions as a homemaker, sources and amounts of income, as well as any marital misconduct. Such marital fault may impact the amount, manner, and duration of the alimony award.

Informed, sensible and fair

Leslie is knowledgeable, conscientious, and very attentive to the needs of her clients. She handled a separation agreement for me, and was very sensible, balanced and fair. I would happily recommend her to anyone.

Marcia, a Divorce client
Very Tough Situation Made Better

Since the first time I consulted with Mrs. Amos I was confident that I had made the right choice. She has been forthright with billing and has shown genuine concern for my well being throughout the process. I feel she has a great understanding of the law and treats her clients with respect and has a real feel for what frustrations go along with any separation.

Ken, Divorce Client
Amazing Attorney!!!!!

Mrs. Amos helped me out when I was in a very tough situation. She literally had 5 hours to build a case and did a SUPERIOR job. She was able to get exactly what I asked for plus more. I would recommend Mrs. Amos as she is a caring, thorough, and knowledgeable attorney.

Danielle, Child Custody client
Outstanding Law Firm

The Amos law firm experience was outstanding!! From a friendly, comfortable atmosphere when I arrived for the first consultation at the office, to a completed case within about a month. His knowledge of the law and professionalism far exceeded my expectation. The completion of my child's change of name has taken a very long time with no end in sight.

Family Law Client #1
A Great Guy

Fred Amos is a great guy. I was charged with a dwi and underage consumption. He got me out of the dwi and only charged for the underage. I was ecstatic about that result. I was glad I hired him and if I ever needed help again he would be the one I'd call. I recommend him to everyone because he will do whatever he can to get the best outcome for you.At first I didn't know what my best route was with my case but he definitely helped me figure it out.

DWI Client
Available, Ethical and Candid

I knew that Fred Amos was the attorney for me when I was first greeted by him, and his wonderful "office assistant", ' Chance'. I retained Fred Amos to represent me on a possible Level 2 offense. Fred has always been available, ethical, and candid in his dealings with me. Fred is well-versed in the law, and is patient with, and informative to, me, a lay-person. Fred Amos shows himself to be, in my experience, a good and competent attorney, and a good, and decent man. I feel privileged to have Fred Amos as my attorney, and would recommend him, wholeheartedly, to anyone desiring legal representation .
