Strategies for Calculating Fair Alimony in South Jordan
Calculating alimony is not as straightforward as calculating child support. Often the simplest way to establish alimony is through a mutual agreement between the parties.
When an agreement cannot be reached, courts will adhere to the fundamental goals of alimony – namely, to get both parties as close as possible to the standard of living that existed during the marriage and to prevent the recipient spouse from becoming a burden on taxpayers.
To achieve these goals, courts will consider:
- The financial conditions and needs of the recipient spouse
- The recipient’s ability to earn income for himself or herself
- The paying spouse’s ability to provide support
When Can Alimony Be Terminated in Utah?
Alimony obligations may be terminated for a number of reasons. Sometimes alimony terminates automatically when it reaches an expiration date specified in the divorce decree. Courts cannot order a party to make alimony payments for a period longer than the marriage lasted. In addition, alimony terminates when the recipient spouse dies, remarries, or cohabitates with another person.
