Usually alimony is granted by the court only when a long term marriage ends. The other party must be able to pay alimony of the court is to award alimony to the other party. Alimony may also be grant short-term before a final divorce decree is awarded. Some of the factors that the court may consider in determining first if alimony is appropriate, and then in what amount, are as follows:

• The standard of living to which the parties have become accustomed during the marriage
• The income and financial status of each party
• The future earning capacity of each party
• The separate assets of each party
• The non-economic contributions to the marriage by either spouse, such as child care, homemaking, career building
• The conduct of the parties toward each other during the marriage

Permanent alimony continues for a long period of time, possibly until the death of the party receiving the alimony and is usually awarded when one of the parties is unable to work due to age physical or mental illness.
