FAQ

Eligibility for Alimony in Illinois Standard of living established during marriage. Age, health, employability, and educational level of each spouse. Earning capacity and ability to become self-supporting for the spouse seeking maintenance. Property, including marital and non-marital assets, divided between spouses.

40% of the high earner's net monthly income minus 50% of the low earner's net monthly income. For instance, if Spouse A earns $5,000 per month and Spouse B earns $2,500 per month, temporary spousal support might be calculated as follows: 40% of $5,000 = $2,000. 50% of $2,500 = $1,250.

The court doesn't divide non-marital property in a divorce. Instead, each spouse keeps their own. For marital property, the court decides on a division that is fair, which could be a 50/50 split or another arrangement based on the couple's situation.

A spouse may be disqualified from receiving alimony if it's determined that they have ample resources to support themselves or if the marriage was of a very short duration. Other specifics may include the discovery of a spouse's non-monetary contributions or any valid agreement between the parties.

In Illinois, the duration of alimony, or spousal maintenance, depends on the marriage's duration. In a marriage of under 5 years, maintenance payments last for 20% of the marriage's length. For a 9-10 year marriage, alimony payments last 40% of the marriage's length.

40% of the high earner's net monthly income minus 50% of the low earner's net monthly income. For instance, if Spouse A earns $5,000 per month and Spouse B earns $2,500 per month, temporary spousal support might be calculated as follows: 40% of $5,000 = $2,000. 50% of $2,500 = $1,250.

Illinois' Spousal Maintenance Formula Take 33.3% of the payor's net annual income. Subtract 25% of the recipient's net annual income. The difference is the annual maintenance amount.

It depends. If used by an experienced family law attorney who knows what they are doing, it may provide a range of potential numbers. But this requires program tweaking—something that online California alimony calculators generally cannot do.
