FAQ
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.
If you are still living with your spouse or former spouse, alimony payments are not tax-deductible. You must make payments after physical separation for them to qualify as tax-deductible. Don't file a joint tax return. If you and your spouse file a joint income tax return, you can't deduct alimony payments.
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.

Misconduct: Certain behaviors can also lead to the disqualification of alimony. For instance, if a spouse is found to have engaged in financial misconduct, such as hiding assets or failing to disclose financial information during the divorce proceedings, this can result in disqualification.
In Illinois, the duration of alimony, or spousal maintenance, depends on the marriage's duration. In a marriage of under 5 years, maintenance payments last for 20% of the marriage's length. For a 9-10 year marriage, alimony payments last 40% of the marriage's length.
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.
