How Long Does Alimony Last in Michigan?
In Michigan, alimony can be temporary or permanent. Temporary alimony is paid during the divorce process, while permanent alimony is paid to the dependent spouse after the divorce is finalized. Permanent alimony is granted in cases where the marriage lasted more than 10 years.
Permanent alimony is based on many factors, including the length of the marriage, the contributions of each spouse to the marriage, and the financial circumstances of each spouse. Alimony is often awarded to the dependent spouse, who is usually the spouse who stayed home and took care of the children.
According to Michigan law, permanent alimony can last for the following amounts of time:
- For an indefinite duration
- For a specific duration, such as for a set number of years
- For the recipient spouse's life
In the case of the last option, the dependent spouse can request that the alimony be terminated in the future if their circumstances change, such as if they find a job or if their financial situation improves. In this case, the court will review the dependent spouse's financial situation and determine whether the alimony should be continued.
