FAQ
Alimony in Georgia is not a guaranteed part of the your divorce. Circumstances such as adultery or abandonment nullify the spouses rights to request spousal support. Typically spousal support is awarded for a spouse ending a long term marriage (10+ years) where one spouse has minimal income earning potential.
Yes. In a New York divorce, spousal support is called “maintenance”. If you are legally married you can seek maintenance as part of a contested divorce in Supreme Court. The spouse who pays maintenance is commonly referred to as the “payor” and the spouse who receives maintenance is commonly referred to as the “payee.”
There are several ways to get alimony during your divorce: If you and your spouse reach an agreement about alimony, you can ask the judge to make the agreement a part of the divorce order. If you cannot reach an agreement, the judge will decide whether you are entitled to alimony.
How Alimony Can Be Voided. Georgia law does not guarantee alimony for either spouse as part of a divorce. In some cases, alimony can be nullified altogether by circumstances such as abandonment or adultery. In fact, state law often forbids alimony if either of those circumstances can be proven.
Typically, the judge will take 20% of the lower-earning spouse's income and subtract that number from 30% of the higher-earning spouse's income. For example, one spouse makes $100,000, and the other makes $20,000. Thirty percent of $100,000 is $30,000, and 20% of $20,000 is $4,000.
If the marriage lasted up to 15 years maintenance lasts 15% to 30% of the length of the marriage. If the marriage lasted 15 to 20 years, maintenance lasts 30% to 40% of the length of the marriage. If the marriage lasted over 20 years, maintenance is expected to last 35% to 50% of the length of the marriage.
California determines alimony based on the recipient's “marital standard of living,” which aims to allow the spouse to continue living in a similar manner as during the marriage.
Unlike child support, there are no State requirements for spousal support awards in divorce. In general, it is intended to take into account the contributions of spouses, either male or female, who have cared for the children or supported the careers of their working spouses.
