Lifetime Alimony Awarded to Wife

The Claiborne Firm represented a woman who unfortunately became disabled in the very first year of her marriage, which left her unable to work.  Almost four years passed by and her husband filed for divorce. Most lawyers in the State of Georgia would say that it takes at least 7 years of marriage to be eligible for alimony, but the Claiborne Firm stood firm and pursued alimony for this disabled woman.  Ultimately, the judge sided with the woman and she was awarded lifetime alimony.
