Alimony Law to Your Door.©
From child custody and child support to property division, many highly contentious issues can emerge during the course of a divorce. One particularly difficult issue can be the payment of alimony. Also known as spousal support or spousal maintenance, alimony is the monetary support paid by one spouse to the other in order to help them maintain the lifestyle to which they have become accustomed during the marriage. Though many cases involve alimony orders, not all individuals are eligible to receive these types of payments. For instance, advisory may be grounds to prevent a spouse from being awarded of alimony.

Factors in Determining Alimony
The court takes many factors under consideration when setting the amount and duration of alimony payments. Generally, the court carefully considers:
- Age of each spouse
- Length of the marriage
- Each spouse's earnings
- Each spouse's abilities and disabilities
- Education level of each spouse
- Any domestic violence issues
- Marital misconduct
Please note that there are additional factors the court may consider and that alimony may be awarded in addition to child support.
