FAQ

The alimony calculator in North Carolina works by dividing the difference between the spouses' incomes by two. When calculating the amount of alimony, a judge will take your gross income and subtract your reasonable expenses to determine net income.

North Carolina law does not have a formula for setting alimony. The judge decides how much alimony is appropriate after analyzing many factors. If support is awarded, the court also determines whether the support will be temporary or ongoing.

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.

Adultery. Abandonment. Reckless spending, such as gambling assets. Physical, emotional, or verbal abuse.

The duration of the marriage, mental and emotional state of the spouse and issues of marital misconduct (such as infidelity) are among other elements considered in the awarding of alimony. There is no precise formula for determining how much alimony a spouse will be awarded in a divorce case.

To qualify, a spouse must be dependent on the other, and there must be a significant income disparity. The spouse seeking alimony must present evidence, explaining how an award is equitable, considering all relevant factors.

North Carolina doesn't provide a formula for calculating postseparation support or alimony. Instead, judges use their best judgment after considering the circumstances in each particular case. But the specific considerations that will go into their decisions are different for postseparation support and alimony.
