The Basics of Alimony and How It’s Determined in Maryland
Alimony, or spousal support, can be a complex aspect of divorce proceedings. In Maryland, courts consider several factors when determining alimony, including the division of property, financial obligations, and each spouse's contributions during the marriage. They also review the standard of living established, the duration of the marriage, and the ability of the recipient spouse to support themselves. Understanding these factors can help you prepare for the process and ensure a fair outcome.
