Tennessee Supreme Court Considers Case Involving Lifetime Alimony Payments

By Nottage and Ward on March 28, 2011

According to My Fox Memphis, the Tennessee Supreme Court is considering a case that may change the way the state awards alimony by examining the bar for limited or lifetime payments.

The case involves the divorce of a couple who, since 2007, has been involved in a legal battle.

At that time, the ex-wife was 43-years-old and was making approximately $72,000 per year, while her former husband made $137,000 per year. The couple had been married for 21 years when the ex-wife filed for divorce in 2007.

Five Stars5 Leslie has been the strongest representation I could ask for

Leslie has been the strongest representation I could ask for in a very complicated, emotional matter. She has continuously looked out for my best interest and the best interest of my son. She is always prompt in getting back to me and in keeping me well informed about my case.
