FAQ
If child support and alimony, maintenance, or spousal support are being determined simultaneously (for the same family), the court shall determine the amount of alimony, maintenance, or spousal support before applying the child support guidelines, except when the court establishes pendente lite support.
The 2014 statute replaces the term “permanent alimony” with “open durational alimony.” Other changes to alimony in New Jersey include: The length of alimony payments cannot exceed the length of the marriage for marriages that last less than 20 years- except for special circumstances.
A general rule of thumb is alimony obligations in New Jersey fall between 20% and 25% of the difference between the net annual income of the paying spouse and the spouse receiving payments. However, this is not a guarantee as the amount varies depending on various factors that will be addressed later in this guide.
Report alimony received on Form 1040 or Form 1040-SR (attach Schedule 1 (Form 1040) PDF) or on Form 1040-NR, U.S. Nonresident Alien Income Tax Return (attach Schedule NEC (Form 1040-NR) PDF).
Bank statements or copies of checks deposited for the most recent 12 months or applicable period showing receipt of payments. Both must indicate the originating entity.
In New Jersey, alimony terminates upon the death or remarriage of the supported spouse. However, if the paying spouse remarries, the alimony payments will continue. If the person paying alimony dies, they usually have life insurance to secure their spousal support to the recipient.
In most cases, alimony is temporary. But, if your marriage has lasted for more than 20 years, you may be eligible to receive permanent alimony. If your marriage has lasted for less than twenty years, New Jersey law limits the amount of time that you can receive alimony to the amount of time that you were marred.
