How Does the Court Decide Alimony?


Well, essentially for a second home, the court will want to make sure that the expenses do not go in default, that there’s no mortgage arrears, that the utilities stay on and are properly maintained. With respect to alimony for the party, it’s really what is that spouse’s recurring monthly expenses? How much food do I need? Is my car being paid for auto insurance? Things like that.

The court would typically deduct vacation and other luxury items from an alimony award as the purpose of temporary support is really to be able to get the person through the divorce case and get them to the finish line. It’s really a temporary period not intended to last years to enable that party to live and sustain themselves during the divorce case and until they can get to a final hearing.
