Spousal Maintenance Support Alimony

In a divorce, one household becomes two, and there is often a significant disparity between the earning potential of each spouse. In some situations, it is appropriate for one spouse to provide income to the other in the form of spousal maintenance (also known as spousal support or alimony.)

Factors To Consider

Courts have broad discretion when ruling on spousal maintenance issues. Some of the factors they consider when determining the amount and duration of support include:

• The financial resources of each party
• The age and physical condition of each party
• The duration of the marriage
• The standard of living during the marriage
• The contributions of each spouse to the marital property
