Spousal support, also known as maintenance, is awarded in Colorado divorce proceedings and is paid by one spouse to the other. The financial resources of the party seeking maintenance, the time needed to get education or training to find appropriate employment, the length of the marriage, the standard of living, the age and condition of the spouse, and the ability of the spouse from whom maintenance is sought to be paid are all considered during the deliberation period. Colorado is a no-fault state, which means that maintenance can be determined without considering marital misconduct such as adultery
Alimony in Colorado
Alimony is given to help a spousal who lacks the assets to provide for themselves after the divorce. There is no automatic right to alimony in the state, even if the spouse does need it. The Colorado divorce court looks at factors that help them to determine whether alimony is appropriate or not, such as the length of the marriage. The longer the marriage, the more likely the court will award alimony. Although there are no guaranteed awards of alimony, there are guidelines that the courts use to determine appropriate amounts and periods of duration for support. This can be a difficult issue to navigate, but the attorneys at Baumgartner Law can help you understand them, and come to a realistic expectation.
