In Utah, alimony is a complex issue because there are no clear guidelines, so the chances of obtaining the best possible outcome for your case is highly dependent upon the experience and the creativity of the attorney who is representing you.
When couples undergoing divorce proceedings disagree on the option and/or amount of alimony payments, a district court judge will make that determination based upon discretionary factors such as:
- Misconduct of the parties while determining alimony
- Earning capacity/income potential for each spouse
- Direct/indirect contributions to the earning capacity of a spouse
- Financial condition/needs of each spouse
- Duration of the marriage
