Alimony is not automatically awarded in every divorce case in New Jersey.
The court will consider all of the relevant factors before making a decision about whether to award alimony and, if so, the amount and duration of the payments.
For purposes of THIS article, I want you to understand that in New Jersey, there is no set minimum length of time a person has to be married to qualify for alimony.
Even if a couple has been married for a short time, one spouse may still be entitled to receive financial support from the other (although in this situation, alimony would likely be owed, if at all, only for a very short time.)
Have more alimony or divorce-related questions?
If you are thinking about alimony, then you are likely considering separating or filing for divorce.
If so, the most important thing for you to do is to learn how to protect yourself, your children, and your assets.
I'll show you how you can do it.
