FAQ
Prove your spouse is cohabiting with someone else: If you can prove that your spouse is living with someone else, you may be able to get out of paying spousal support altogether. Likewise, if you can show that your spouse can earn a reasonable living, you may be able to have your alimony payments reduced or eliminated.

Factors that can disqualify someone from receiving alimony in Connecticut include financial independence, remarriage, or cohabitation with a new partner. Additionally, if the court determines that the marriage was short or if both spouses have similar earning capacities, alimony may not be awarded.
If both spouses are self-supporting at or above the marital standard of living, the recipient has committed domestic violence against the paying spouse, or the recipient accept a buyout, you may be able to avoid paying spousal support in California.
Establishing Marital Agreements A prenuptial or postnuptial agreement can prevent many alimony disputes. Such marital agreements allow couples to agree beforehand on whether spousal support would be awarded in the event of a divorce.

California and the federal government have different tax laws about spousal support (also known as alimony). For California income taxes, the person paying support can deduct the payments. The person receiving support must report the payments as income.

However, if you were married for less than 20 years, you cannot collect alimony for more than 50% of the length of the marriage.
The person asking for alimony must show the court that he or she needs financial support, and that the other spouse has the ability to provide financial support.
