The Attorney-Client Relationship in Family Law is a Very Personal One

We understand how important it is that you feel comfortable with your family law attorney and that you trust your lawyer to understand your needs.

One of the most fundamental legal obligations that couples acquire upon marriage is the duty to financially support each other under certain circumstances. 

Maintenance, formerly referred to as “alimony” and “spousal support”, is used to ensure that a financially dependent spouse can receive support payments for a specific period of time. Either spouse, male or female, can be ordered to pay maintenance to their spouse by the court. The goal of this monetary support is to enable the receiving spouse to maintain their standard of living initially after a divorce, and to become self-supporting over a period of time.

While there are legal standards for determining spousal maintenance, the court still has the ability to address special considerations on a case-by-case basis. That is why having proper and assertive legal counsel during this process should be a priority for divorce clients. Whether you’re the primary wage earner or have been financially dependent on your spouse, the attorneys at The Law Offices of Jaworski & Giacobbe are here to listen to your concerns and help you arrive at the solution you desire.

  • "I have worked with Mr. Giacobbe on my father's Estate Planning consisting of his will, power of attorney and health care proxy. My dad lived in an assisted living facility and Mr. Giacobbe was kind enough to visit him there so we didn't have to go to his office. I would recommend using Mr. Giacobbe for all your Estate Planning needs!"

  • "I have known David Jaworski my entire adult life. We came of age together on the athletic fields of South Buffalo. I could always trust Dave as a friend as we grew up. As we became successful adults, I quickly learned to trust Dave for both his calm judgment and legal skills as the troubles life sometimes bring began to appear. Dave is a skilled negotiator, a powerful litigator and a brilliant legal mind. He is well versed on day to day legal issues, but demonstrates remarkable skill in areas other lawyers might be timid to test. I highly recommend David for any legal issues you might have. "
