How Arkansas alimony works

Purely discretionary — no formula Key factors: Financial need of requesting spouse, ability to pay of other spouse, financial circumstances (income, assets, resources), earning capacity, value of jointly owned property, health and medical needs, past standard of living, duration of marriage, amount of child support Duration: Temporary alimony ends upon finalization of divorce. Rehabilitative alimony is for a set period to allow the recipient to become self-supporting. Permanent alimony is rare, generally for lengthy marriages with poor employment prospects due to age or health, and can terminate under certain conditions.
