How is Alimony Calculated in Georgia?

transitions11 • June 16, 2016

Unlike some states, Georgia does not have a published calculationfor alimony also known as “spousal support”.  Alimony is awarded based on a multitude of factors including:

  1. the need of the recipient as a temporary means to regain financial independence from their spouse
  2. the ability to pay by the primary income producing spouse
  3. the employability of the recipient and past employment history
  4. age and physical condition of both spouses
  5. special childcare needs of minor children that would prohibit the recipient from gaining employment

These factors also contribute to the length of the alimony obligation.

In Georgia civil law, there are certain circumstances when a spouse would NOT be eligible for alimony. When the divorce is an immediate and direct result of adultery, the spouse that committed the adultery is barred from receiving alimony.

The first key element of the divorce services we offer is calculating alimony and child support figures for your family. If you are considering divorce we encourage you to make an appointment for a free consultation (678) 389-1616.
