Alimony lump sum settlements
A question that is asked often is what happens in the case where alimony is awarded - can it be paid in one lump sum?
First, we must declare that we are not lawyers, and do not claim to be in any sense, and if such an event happens to you, we recommend that you find an expert in this area to guide you through the process.
All that being said, it’s been in our experience is that a lump sum is only awarded if the financial capacity of the person who must pay can reasonably afford it.
That is where the stickiness lies. As everything in the justice system, that determination will be done on a case by case basis.
