Purely discretionary — no formula Key factors: Each spouse’s financial circumstances, length of the marriage, both spouse’s contributions (monetary and non-monetary) to the marriage (including childcare and education), whether either spouse interrupted personal careers or educational opportunities during the marriage, the supported spouse’s ability to engage in gainful employment without interfering with the needs of the couple’s children Duration: Temporary alimony ends upon divorce finalization. Rehabilitative alimony ends upon specific events like finding employment, completing a degree, or selling marital home. Permanent alimony may terminate on a future date or after a particular event. Judges focus on ensuring the dependent spouse has a reasonable time to become self-supporting.
