In Colorado, a marriage must have lasted at least three years for either spouse to qualify for alimony, or spousal maintenance, following a divorce. These payments are intended to help the lower-earning spouse get back on their feet. You may need to make spousal maintenance payments for a set time if you are the higher-earning spouse. Situations will vary, but generally, the court will factor in your spouse’s financial needs when determining what, if any, spousal maintenance payments are appropriate.
A family law attorney can help you navigate the divorce process and calculate any potential spousal maintenance payments you may face. Please contact us at (303) 688-0944 to discuss your specific facts and if you'll likely pay alimony. There are numerous factors that go into this determination.
