How Is Alimony Calculated in Reading Pennsylvania?

In a normal alimony case, a judge must look at multiple factors about the two partners' relationship, background, and previous history before deciding whether to grant alimony, as well as how much to grant.

According to Section 3701 of the Pennsylvania Divorce Code, the judge must carefully examine all these features to properly determine the extent and manner of alimony.

Some of these key factors include:

  • Each of the parties’ current and past earnings, along with their potential capability of earning an income in the future
  • The current ages of both parties, as well as their mental, emotional, and physical capabilities and conditions, both in the past and in the present
  • Any other potential sources of financial aid for both parties, including such benefits as retirement, medical, insurance aid, or inheritances
  • The potential expectancies of life, as well as conditions of the parties’ individual familial inheritances
  • The length of the marriage
  • The extent that one of the members of the marriage contributed to the education or career training of the other party, which could affect abilities to earn income
  • Any financial expenses and obligations which one member will face as serving as the primary custodian of a child
  • The level of each party’s education
  • The contribution of one partner as a homemaker
  • Any possible form of domestic misconduct from either one of the partners

Can Alimony be Modified in Reading?

Sometimes an initial arrangement of alimony needs to be changed, due to an alteration in one or both parties’ lives. When this occurs, the former partner can apply to have the spousal support modified, depending on the circumstances, such as one party becoming injured or disabled, or losing a source of income.

Our reliable Reading alimony attorney at the Law Office of Nikolas D. Capitano, The Leges Group LLC can make sure to support you during these changing situations as well.
