Re: Alimony
In Arizona, we call it "Spousal Maintenance".
1. There is no guarantee that either party will be entitled to Spousal Maintenance.
2. If one party is entitled, which requires that she (or he) satisfy a variety of criteria, it is usually paid by the spouse making the higher wages.
3. The Court does, when deciding whether spousal should be paid, or in what amount, look at the Payor's ability to pay (amongst many other things).
Please contact me directly if you would like to discuss this in greater detail. Please also review this topic, and many others, on our webpage: www.familylawaz.com
