Understanding How Courts Determine Alimony Payments in Massachusetts
Being granted alimony in Massachusetts is not a guarantee. Instead, the court examines the financial circumstances of each of the separating spouses.
The main factors taken into account for determining whether alimony should be awarded are:
- Length of the marriage
- Age of both spouses
- The health of both parties
- Income of both spouses
- Employment and future employability of both members
- Each spouse’s contributions to the marriage
- Standard of living when married
- Any other factors deemed relevant
After considering the particulars of your situation, the court then makes a decision on how much alimony will be awarded and for how many years.
