Spousal Support (Alimony) can be a very important financial consideration in a divorce. Oregon recognizes three types of spousal support: transitional spousal support, compensatory spousal support, and maintenance spousal support.
Transitional spousal support is financial support needed for a party to attain an education and training necessary to allow the party to prepare for reentry into the job market or for advancement therein. The factors to be considered by the court in awarding transitional spousal support can include:
1. The duration of the marriage;
2. A party’s training and employment skills;
3. A party’s work experience;
4. The financial needs and resources of each party;
5. The tax consequences to each party;
6. A party’s custodial and child support responsibilities; and
7. Any other factors the court deems just and equitable.
Compensatory spousal support is the financial support necessary to compensate a spouse when there has been a significant financial or other contribution by one spouse to the education, training, vocational skills, career or earning capacity of the other spouse. The factors to be considered by the court in awarding compensatory support can include:
1. The amount, duration and nature of the contribution;
2. The duration of the marriage;
3. The relative earning capacity of the parties;
4. The extent to which the marital estate has already benefitted from the contribution;
5. The tax consequences to each party; and
6. Any other factors the court deems just and equitable.
Maintenance spousal support is the financial support needed as a contribution by one spouse to the support of the other for either a specified or an indefinite period. The factors to be considered by the court in awarding maintenance spousal support can include:
1. The duration of the marriage;
2. The age of the parties;
3. The health of the parties, including their physical, mental and emotional condition;
4. The standard of living established during the marriage;
5. The relative income and earning capacity of the parties, recognizing that the wage earner’s continuing income may be a basis for support distinct from the income that the supported spouse may receive from the distribution of marital property;
6. A party’s training and employment skills;
7. A party’s work experience;
8. The financial needs and resources of each party;
9. The tax consequences to each party;
10. A party’s custodial and child support responsibilities; and
11. Any other factors the court deems just and equitable.
The duration and amount of the spousal support will vary greatly with the facts of each case. An experienced family law attorney can give you a better understanding of your rights and potential obligations as to spousal support in your divorce case.
