Spousal Maintenance Attorney
Alimony, also called spousal maintenance, is payment to one spouse from the other after a divorce. The court establishes this payment plan, which by design is to provide some relief for a spouse with less earning abilities. Depending on the situation, it can last a few or many years. Marriages that have lasted more than 20 years may be eligible for indefinite support. The court typically does not award payments in marriages that last fewer than 3 years.
The amount of Alimony and Spousal Support varies from case to case, but the Arizona Court base their caluculations on the following:
- Standard of Living
- Gross income of both spouses
- Potential earning ability (both spouses)
- Length of marriage
- Health insurance and education costs (for both spouses and any children involved)
