Who are the best candidates to obtain an Alimony Award in a
Rhode Island Divorce?
The best candidate for alimony is a spouse who put
aside his or her career ambitions for many years to be a homemaker and care for
the children. As a result of the role of nurturing the children and
establishing and maintaining a home, the other spouse was able to advance his
or her career in order to be able to afford to pay alimony. In some cases, the
family made a decision that one parent would put aside his or her career
aspirations to raise a child or minor children. As a result, the homemaker's
skill set is so outmoded that he or she is unable to obtain suitable
employment. This is usually because the homemaker's job skills, employment
history, licenses, training, skills, experience or degrees became outmoded or
irrelevant. Perhaps the person does not have enough of an employment history to
be able to be self supporting and self sufficient without receiving alimony. In
some cases the spouse is unable to work because the spouse currently has a
physical custody of a young child.
