What Is Alimony?

Alimony is a payment from one spouse to another after a divorce. There are two types:

  • Temporary alimony is paid during the divorce process.
  • Permanent alimony is paid after the divorce is finalized.

Courts will consider many factors when determining alimony, such as:

  • Each spouse's financial situation
  • How long the marriage lasted
  • Each spouse's earning capacity
  • Each spouse's contribution to the marriage
  • The age of each spouse
  • Each spouse's physical and mental health

An experienced alimony lawyer in Suffolk County can help you understand your options and pursue the best solution for your unique situation.

Duration of Alimony

There are no set rules for how long alimony lasts. Courts will consider many factors when making this decision, such as:

  • The length of the marriage
  • Each spouse's financial situation
  • How long it will take the supported spouse to become self-supporting
  • Each spouse's physical and mental health
  • Each spouse's earning capacity

Our firm can help you determine how long alimony will last in your case.
