Legal Question in Family Law in New Jersey

Hi,

In New Jersey there is permanent alimony. Permanent alimony is awarded after a lengthy marriage, in recognition of prolonged economic dependence and sustained contribution to a marital enterprise.

While all the statutory factors in determining alimony must be considered (such as need of the party, ability to pay, health of the parties, standard of living during the marriage, etc.), the duration of the marriage is the defining distinction between whether permanent or limited duration alimony is awarded.
