How Is Spousal Support Determined?
Once known as alimony, spousal support — or maintenance as it is sometimes called — is the court-ordered or agreed upon financial support of one former spouse by the other. This is separate from any child support ordered. Many factors determine whether an individual qualifies for spousal maintenance. in Illinois, the courts consider elements such as:
- Income of each individual
- Needs of each party
- Earning capacities
- Length of the marriage
- Sources of income
- Age and skills of each party
