Prioritizing Your Financial Stability
TATARSHA D.HARRIS
There is no inherent right to alimony payments, therefore an alimony award can be difficult to obtain. The amount and duration of spousal maintenance payments are determined by:
-
Duration of the marriage
-
Disparity of incomes
-
Health of each spouse
-
Education and training
-
Presence or absence of young children

Alimony
Spousal maintenance exists independently from child support payments. A financially dependent spouse may seek financial support for the loss of income resulting from divorce. Spousal maintenance is intended to be temporary but may be permanent due to age, mental disability, or physical disability. Alimony is also appropriate when the disparity is unconscionable, and the requesting spouse has become accustomed to the lifestyle maintained during the marriage.
