How Does a Judge Determine Alimony in Houston?
Alimony is primarily based on how much each spouse earns. However, if a spouse intentionally chooses to work at a job that pays less than what he or she could more reasonably earn, the alimony amount will be based on a higher number. Therefore, if a spouse is trying to avoid paying alimony by opting for a job with lower income, such an act will undoubtedly backfire.
Here are some additional factors a judge will consider when determining alimony:
- The standard of living maintained during the marriage
- The duration of the marriage
- Each spouse’s assets, income, and financial obligations
- How property is divided
- The age and health of each spouse
- The needs of their children and if child-related responsibilities may prevent a spouse’s ability to return to work
- If the receiving spouse left the workforce to care for the children
- The possibility that a spouse will obtain assets in the future through an inheritance or matured stock options
- Any other factors a judge believes is essential to make this decision
