Record Award in Alimony Case

Attorney Lee A. Schwartz, Esquire, on January 26, 2005, received notice of a court award in a matter he litigated in what could possibly be the largest spousal support award in the history of Chester County, Pennsylvania.

On January 21, 2005, the Court of Common Pleas of Chester County ordered the Husband in the case to pay $111,773 per month in support, for a total of $1,276,448 to Wife for the period covering January 19, 2004 through December 31, 2004.

The plaintiff in the case received the award, which was the result of a determination by the Court of the Husband's ability to pay based on his combined income and severance package from his employer.

The record-setting court order is a matter of public record and is filed in the Chester County Court of Common Pleas.

The size of the settlement was impacted by the amount of money Husband made in salary and other forms of compensation and severance payments during 2004 when his combined earnings totaled $5,717,308.
