Different Form Of Supports In Divorce GA
Spousal support falls into two broad categories: short-term support and long-term or permanent support. “Reimbursement” support is a kind of long-term support. A spouse may also get temporary support before the divorce is final.
Under Georgia Code, any spouse may be awarded alimony as long as he or she is not guilty of desertion or adultery. These other factors are also considered when the parties are not able to agree on an amount;
1. the participation each party had to the marital estate;
2. the duration of the marriage;
3. the future earning capacity and financial resources of each party;
4. the age and medical condition of each party;
5. the future earning capacity of each party;
6. the value of each party’s separate property;
7. the standard of living sustained during the marriage;
8. rehabilitative time one party may need to gain employment.
It’s possible that a former spouse might receive more than one kind of support at the same time. If a spouse is getting more than one kind of support, say rehabilitative and short-term, then when the spouse is employed again, the rehabilitative support would end. The short-term support would continue until its termination date.
