How is alimony calculated?
Alimony, as opposed to child support, is not as definitive and is based on a number of factors including the actual need of the party, the ability of the other party to pay, the duration of the marriage, the age, physical and emotional health of the parties, the standard of living established in the marriage, the likelihood that each party can maintain a reasonable comparable standard of living, as well as a number of other factors. The alimony statute in New Jersey was recently amended so that the court is now permitted to award not only permanent or rehabilitative alimony but also limited duration alimony and reimbursement alimony. There are no fixed "guidelines" as there are with regard to child support.
