When it comes to calculating alimony, the courts include custody arrangements in their assessment. However, it is not all that they consider.
Other elements that can influence alimony determination include:
- Length of the marriage
- Standard of living while married
- Earning capacity of the spouse requesting support
- Other spouse’s ability to pay support
- Age and health of both spouses
- Division of assets and debts
- Any history of domestic violence
- Existence of any prenuptial agreement
It is important to remember that every case is unique, and the combination of these factors could vary widely. If you’re dealing with alimony concerns, don’t go at it alone. Reach out to Kendall Gkikas & Mitchell, LLP for professional assistance. We will ensure that you put the best case forward.
