Alimony

In resolving a divorce, a court may award one party alimony which can be permanent or for a limited duration. Alimony is meant to maintain the lifestyle that a financially-dependent spouse enjoyed during the marriage. This determination takes many factors into account including the actual need of one party, the ability to pay of the other party, the age and health of the parties, the standard of living established in the marriage and the likelihood that each party can maintain a comparable standard of living, the parties’ childcare responsibilities, the equitable distribution of property, the financial or non-financial contributions to the marriage by each party, and many other factors.
