Alimony in California
The purpose of alimony is to alleviate any unfair financial burden that may come upon a non-working or lower-earning spouse after a divorce. Spousal support payments can vary greatly in amount and duration and are determined based on a variety of factors.
When determining an alimony order, the court will consider the:
- Age and health of the spouses
- Earning capacity of each spouse
- Standard of living during the marriage
- Duration of the marriage
- Assets and obligations of each party
- Immediate and specific tax consequences to each party
- History of any domestic violence
Keep in mind that alimony is not guaranteed for either partner. Alimony awards are finalized by the court.
