FAQ
After a divorce, it's common for one spouse to make payments to the other as part of the divorce agreement. These payments can be alimony, child support or a mix of both.
The court may make a final spousal support order. There is no specific formula in Ohio for calculating temporary support awards. The court must use its discretion, taking into account each spouse's earning capacity and other resources while the divorce is pending.
Unlike child support, which is calculated using a strict formula, Ohio doesn't have a formula for calculating spousal support or even determining who's entitled to receive it.
Ohio isn't a community property state. Instead, Ohio follows what's known as the "equitable distribution" model for dividing assets and debts during a divorce. However, unlike many other states that use this model, Ohio requires judges to divide a couple's marital property equally, unless that would be unfair.
A general rule in Ohio is that the court will order one year of support for every two to five years of marriage, depending on how long the parties have been married. The longer the marriage, the longer the period of time the payments will continue.
The guideline states that the paying spouse's support be presumptively 40% of his or her net monthly income, reduced by one-half of the receiving spouse's net monthly income. If child support is an issue, spousal support is calculated after child support is calculated.
In Ohio, eligibility for spousal support is determined by various factors, including the length of the marriage, the standard of living during the marriage, each spouse's earning capacity, age, physical and emotional health, and financial and non-financial contributions to the marriage.
