Unhappy With Your Alimony Agreement? Our Boston, MA Attorney Can Help.

Alimony is a court-ordered payment made from one spouse to the other after a divorce. If you and your spouse maintained a certain standard of living during your marriage, alimony may be awarded to help you or your ex-spouse sustain that lifestyle post-divorce. At Reilly Law, we assist clients in reviewing existing alimony agreements and pursuing necessary modifications through the court.

Whether you’re seeking to adjust payments or understand your rights, our experienced alimony attorneys are here to guide you.

Which Kind of Alimony is Right for You?

Not all court-ordered alimonies are the same. You could be ordered to pay or receive a:


  • General term alimony — you pay or receive this alimony on a regular basis, usually for an amount of time chosen based on the length of your marriage.
  • Rehabilitative alimony — if you or your spouse will most likely get to support themselves again without alimony, the court will choose a shorter alimony term.
  • Reimbursement alimony — this alimony can be paid regularly or on a one-time basis. If you paid for your spouse’s education or job training, you could get reimbursement alimony.
  • Transitional alimony — this alimony is a one-time payment to help you or your spouse settle into a new lifestyle after your divorce.
