How does the court determine Alimony ?

When determining alimony, the court basis it off of the standard of living you and your former spouse had as a married couple. The payer of alimony typically won't have to pay more than the amount needed for meeting that standard of living. If an ex-spouse has custody of minor children who still need support, the court will look at that as well. They look at the potential recipient's ability to earn an income.
