Augusta Alimony And Spousal Support Lawyer | Georgia, South Carolina, Tennessee
Last updated on March 18, 2026
The financial side of a divorce is complex, especially when considering short-term or long-term spousal support. An experienced Augusta alimony lawyer can help bring order to your situation.
At PJ Campanaro Attorney at Law, Ms. Campanaro has over 20 years of experience as a family law attorney, a prosecutor and a criminal defense lawyer. This allows her to use her skills as a litigator to investigate, identify any hidden income or assets and work to help ensure financial equity for her clients. She can assist with negotiations and in the courtroom, fighting for her clients’ rights.
The Investigative Advantage
Determining alimony and spousal support levels requires full disclosure of income and financial assets. However, there are often issues with deferred compensation, under-the-table income and hidden assets. As a former chief assistant solicitor general, Ms. Campanaro can use prosecutorial discovery techniques to help uncover these assets.
Georgia Standards: Need Versus Ability
Georgia legal standards do not automatically grant alimony but instead seek a balance between a higher-earning spouse’s ability to pay and the financial needs of the lower-earning spouse. Courts consider the length of the marriage, access to financial assets, individual income levels and other factors. Potential bars to alimony exist in Georgia, including voluntary cohabitation or adultery.
In the Second Judicial Circuit Court in Aiken County, South Carolina, there is often a focus on rehabilitative alimony. This can be fixed-term alimony that is not permanent but helps with the transition and is based on the duration of the marriage.
Four Types Of Tennessee Support
Ms. Campanaro also practices in South Carolina and Tennessee. Tennessee offers four different types of support:
- Alimony in futuro
- Alimony in solido
- Rehabilitative alimony
- Transitional alimony
Attorney Campanaro uses her experience to help Tennessee clients explore their right to spousal support.
Support In A Military Divorce
