What New Mexico Courts Consider

Unlike states with rigid formulas, New Mexico grants judges significant discretion. Our calculator models its logic on these fundamental considerations.

Duration of the Marriage

This is the cornerstone of any alimony determination. Marriages under 5 years may receive little to no support, while those over 20 years often qualify for indefinite or permanent alimony. Our tool heavily weighs this factor to predict the potential duration of payments.

Respective Earning Capacity

The court assesses each spouse's current income, education, and potential to earn in the future. The greater the disparity, the stronger the case for alimony. Our calculation begins with this core financial gap, adjusted for factors like child support obligations.

Your Questions Answered

Navigating spousal support can be complex. Here are clear answers to some of the most common questions in New Mexico.

Courts can award several types: Rehabilitative (most common, to gain skills for self-support), Transitional (short-term help to bridge single life), Indefinite (for long-term marriages where self-support is unlikely), or Lump-Sum alimony.

Generally, no. New Mexico is a no-fault divorce state, meaning a spouse's misconduct typically does not impact the financial award of alimony. The decision is based on financial need and ability to pay, not on punishing a party.

Yes. Alimony can be modified if there is a "substantial change in circumstances" for either party, such as a major promotion or involuntary job loss. It typically terminates automatically upon the death of either party or the remarriage of the recipient.

It can have a significant impact. Since marital assets are divided 50/50 in New Mexico, a spouse who receives substantial income-producing assets (like investments or rental properties) in the divorce may have less need for spousal support, which can reduce the final award.
