New York State Divorce Law Spousal Support

Spousal support, also known as alimony, is financial assistance provided by one spouse to the other during or after divorce. It can be temporary, permanent, rehabilitational, or durational. Eligibility factors include marriage length, income, age, health, child custody, household contributions, education, training, and standard of living. The calculation involves an income cap of $184,000 and a formula of 30% of the payor's income - 20% of the payee's income. The duration of New York State Divorce Law Spousal Support varies, typically until death, remarriage, or modification. Modifications can be made with changes in circumstances or agreement.
