Following a divorce, achieving financial stability is a primary concern for both parties. At Legal Sandbox Georgia, we provide specialized legal services in Tbilisi focused on alimony and spousal maintenance. The legal framework for these obligations is detailed in the Civil Code of Georgia, which defines a mutual duty of support between spouses. Our experienced lawyers offer precise and empathetic guidance to ensure that any alimony arrangement is fair, just, and strictly adheres to Georgian law, protecting your financial well-being during a challenging life transition.
According to the Civil Code of Georgia, a spouse is entitled to receive maintenance from the other spouse if they are unable to work or are in financial need. This principle ensures that a financially dependent spouse is not left without support, particularly after a long-term marriage where one partner may have sacrificed career opportunities to manage the household or raise children. A husband is also explicitly obligated to support his wife during pregnancy and for three years following the birth of a child. Our legal team meticulously assesses each case to determine if the conditions for claiming spousal maintenance are met, building a robust argument on your behalf.
The determination of alimony is not based on a rigid formula in Georgia; rather, it is at the discretion of the court. When deciding on the amount and duration of spousal support, the court thoroughly evaluates the financial and marital situation of both parties. Key factors considered include the length of the marriage, the established standard of living, and the age and health of each spouse. The court will carefully balance the needs of the spouse requesting support against the other spouse's ability to pay, ensuring the final decision is equitable. We assist our clients in gathering and presenting the necessary financial documentation to support their position effectively before the court.
Navigating a claim for spousal maintenance requires deep knowledge of Georgian family law and strategic negotiation or litigation skills. The team at Legal Sandbox Georgia is committed to advocating for your best interests, whether you are seeking to receive fair support or ensuring that your payment obligations are reasonable. We handle every aspect of the process, from initial consultations and filing claims to representing you in court. Our goal is to achieve a resolution that provides you with the financial security needed to move forward confidently with your life.
