Spousal Maintenance Determinations In Arizona

Unlike child support, there are no specific rules around calculating the amount of money that a spouse will get during a divorce. Instead, the amount and the duration of alimony are determined by the court by taking into consideration several factors such as:

• The length of the marriage
• The income and earning potential of both parties
• The education and work skills of both parties
• Tax issues
• Disability or medical illness
• Age
• The standard of living both parties enjoyed during the marriage
• Contributions made by either party to the other party regarding career and educational advancements

Whether you are seeking legal advice about whether you are entitled to alimony or if you will be required to pay it, Knochel Law Offices , can help you.
