How Ohio Family Courts Consider Alimony Awards
Spousal support is not given in all cases. The need for support must be proven, as well as the ability of the other party to provide financial support. Factors that the family court judge will consider when determining spousal maintenance include:
- Age of the parties
- Health of the parties
- Length of the marriage
- Education level of the parties
- Earning capacity and past work experience of the two parties, especially the dependent or low-wage earner
- Lifestyle of the couple during the marriage
- Ability of the wage-earning partner to pay support
Spousal Support Orders Can Be Changed
While not as common as a change in child support, a spousal support order can be changed if there is reason to do so. Circumstances that may require the modification of a spousal support order include loss of job, illness or bankruptcy.
