Understanding Alimony in Oklahoma
I wanted to answer a much-dreaded question in family law, especially for fathers and men. How do I get out of paying alimony? I don’t know what it is about that topic, it just makes my male clients bristle. Obviously, the emotion attached to paying somebody money to support them after you are done with the relationship is very difficult.
Defenses Against Alimony Claims
The best answer to the question of how to avoid paying alimony is not to get ordered to pay alimony in the first place. You really need a family law lawyer who is used to and has experience in litigating alimony claims. There are some very valid defenses against alimony claims that your lawyer needs to be aware of, the most significant of which is whether you can afford it.
Options After Alimony Order
If you already have an alimony order against you, there are only a couple of ways to undo that. It can be appealed if the order is still pretty new, less than 30 days old. Another option is if the other party gets remarried, as most types of alimony cease at that point. You can also offer a cash payout to settle the alimony amount, or offer property in lieu of alimony during divorce proceedings.
