When a marriage ends in divorce, it is often appropriate for the primary wage-earning spouse to pay their soon-to-be ex spousal support (alimony). If you are seeking spousal support, it is important that you obtain a fair amount that reflects your contributions to the marital household. If you are paying spousal support, it is important that your rights are protected and you do not pay more than is fair and just.

Judges have broad discretion when determining spousal support in Utah. Generally, support is determined by one spouse’s need and the other spouse’s ability to pay. One key consideration is the length of the marriage. The duration of spousal support will not exceed the duration of the marriage. Other factors that may affect spousal support include:

• Each spouse’s income and earning potential
• The standard of living enjoyed during the marriage
• Property division arrangements
• One spouse’s contribution to the education and earning ability of the other
