Alimony in Jones County, Georgia

Alimony may be given to a spouse unless that spouse is guilty of desertion or adultery. When determining alimony, the court will consider marital conduct, participation each party had to the marital estate; the duration of the marriage; the future financial resources of each party; the age and health of each party; the future earning potential of each party; the net worth of each party’s separate assets; the standard of living sustained during the marriage; and rehabilitative time one spouse may need to gain employment. Alimony in Jones County, Georgia is either "rehabilitative" or "permanent". Alimony is money for support awarded to a party by the other party. Alimony may be for a short or long time. Usually alimony is given by the judge only when a long term marriage is dissolved. The other spouse should be able to pay alimony if the judge is to give alimony to the other party. Alimony may also be given short-term before a final divorce decree is awarded. Alimony, also referred to as “spousal support” or “maintenance,” is designed to help a lower-earning spouse make it through the divorce and the transition into a new single life. Depending on the length of the marriage and the degree to which one spouse was financially dependent on the other, support can last for a long time.
