How Spousal Support Is Determined In Illinois

Spousal support cases can result in many possible outcomes so it is important that your attorney knows and understands how to present your specific concerns to the court. When determining spousal maintenance, the court will consider such factors as:

  • The length of the marriage
  • The income and earning potential of both parties
  • The age and health of both parties
  • Property division
  • Standard of living established during the marriage

Illinois is a no-fault divorce state, which means spousal conduct is not considered in maintenance awards. We can help you understand your rights in regard to spousal support and explain the different types of alimony, including rehabilitative, modifiable and nonmodifiable.

Whichever side of the issue you stand on, we will help to arrive at a fair and just settlement that protects your rights and financial future. We will also ensure that your spousal support matter is current with changing laws.
