You are not legally obligated to support her. If a divorce is filed the court could make alimony retroactive.
California Alimony 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.
Duration of spousal support Some judges have a rule of thumb that they will award spousal support for half the number of years of the marriage. Spousal support generally ends upon the death of either spouse, or upon the remarriage of the recipient.
In most cases, alimony in a short-term marriage may last for half the duration of the marriage. So, alimony might be ordered for 2.5 years for a five-year 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.
The guideline states that the paying spouse's support be presumptively 40% of his or her net monthly income, reduced by one-half of the receiving spouse's net monthly income. If child support is an issue, spousal support is calculated after child support is calculated.
The formula is simple: Divide the Wife's annual amount by the interest rate: $100,000 divided by . 10 = $1 million. The formula is known as the present value of a perpetuity because it continues in perpetuity.
40% of the high earner's net monthly income minus 50% of the low earner's net monthly income. For instance, if Spouse A earns $5,000 per month and Spouse B earns $2,500 per month, temporary spousal support might be calculated as follows: 40% of $5,000 = $2,000. 50% of $2,500 = $1,250.
Not necessarily is you move in together, but if you cohabit, then yes, alimony does terminate. It's more complicated than this, but cohabitation is living together in a husband-wife relationship, including sexual intimacy. Usually, moving back in with an ex for all intents and purposes ends alimony.
