ALIMONY

Alimony is financial support paid by one divorced or divorcing party to the other when there is a real need for the assistance. There are various types of alimony available and the court will take into account a number of factors before making an award of alimony. Important factors to be considered by the court are: the length of the marriage; the ages of the parties; the disparity in the parties’ incomes and assets; the current needs and/or long-term needs of the requesting party; whether the requesting party needs rehabilitative education or training to become fully employed and whether they have a well-founded rehabilitative plan. Other factors may be considered by the court as well.
