An Estimate in Three Steps

Our tool simplifies Alabama's alimony factors into an intuitive process, providing a clear financial estimate to inform your next steps.

Enter Incomes

Provide the gross monthly incomes for both the paying (payor) and receiving (recipient) spouse to establish the core financial picture.

Provide Context

Input the total duration of the marriage in years, as this is a primary factor in determining the length and type of spousal support.

Select Alimony Type

Choose between Rehabilitative and Periodic alimony. In Alabama, rehabilitative support is the default for most cases.

The Alabama Approach

Unlike states with strict formulas, Alabama law focuses on two primary forms of alimony, with a strong preference for temporary, rehabilitative support.

Rehabilitative Alimony: The Default

This is the most common type of spousal support in Alabama. It is temporary financial aid intended to help a lower-earning spouse gain the skills, education, or experience necessary to become self-sufficient. By law, it is generally limited to a maximum of five years.

Periodic Alimony: For Specific Cases

This is a more traditional, long-term form of support. It is typically reserved for long marriages (often 20+ years) or situations where a spouse is unable to become self-supporting due to age or disability. There is no 5-year cap, but the duration generally cannot exceed the length of the marriage.

Your Questions Answered

Get clarity on the most common questions about spousal support under Alabama's specific legal framework.

Yes. Unlike many states, Alabama law explicitly allows courts to consider marital misconduct when deciding whether to award alimony and how much to award. Adultery, in particular, can be a bar to receiving alimony for the at-fault spouse.

No, there is no strict mathematical formula. While this calculator uses a common model based on income disparity, the final decision is up to a judge's discretion. They weigh factors like the length of the marriage, each spouse's needs and ability to pay, and the standard of living.

Alimony automatically terminates upon the death of either party or the remarriage of the recipient spouse. It may also be terminated if the recipient cohabits with a romantic partner, as defined by Alabama law.
