FAQ

Some of the factors courts will consider when determining the duration, manner, amount and type of payments include: Each spouse's incomes, including any income generated by property. The earning ability of each spouse. How old each spouse is, and how healthy they are (emotionally, mentally and physically)

Ohio isn't a community property state. Instead, Ohio follows what's known as the "equitable distribution" model for dividing assets and debts during a divorce. However, unlike many other states that use this model, Ohio requires judges to divide a couple's marital property equally, unless that would be unfair.

After a divorce, it's common for one spouse to make payments to the other as part of the divorce agreement. These payments can be alimony, child support or a mix of both.

A fairly common amount of spousal support is two thirds of equalization. As an example, say spouse #1 has an income of $50,000 per year and that spouse #2 has an income of $14,000 per year. The difference in their incomes is $36,000. One-half of that amount is $18,000 or $1,500 per month to equalize their incomes.

Although lifetime spousal support is expected in lengthy marriages, the spousal support's duration is determined by each case's circumstances. If permanent support is not awarded in a lengthy marriage, the general rule of thumb allows the spousal support duration to be one-third of the marriage.

The court may make a final spousal support order. There is no specific formula in Ohio for calculating temporary support awards. The court must use its discretion, taking into account each spouse's earning capacity and other resources while the divorce is pending.
