FAQ

In Utah, the law mandates that the judge may order alimony only up to the number of years that the marriage lasted. So if the couple was married for 17 years, the support can last up to 17 years. Any extension will be at the discretion of the family court.

Utah courts consider various factors, including the length of your marriage, financial resources, and each spouse's contributions when deciding if one of you qualifies for alimony. It's common to award alimony in long-term marriages, but things can get complicated, making it necessary to seek legal help.

Utah law spells out a number of factors that judges must consider when they're deciding whether to award alimony and, if so, how much and for how long. Judges may also consider the spouse's wrongful conduct, including adultery. (Utah Code § 81-4-502 (2024).)

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.

Some reasons why an ex-spouse might not be entitled to receive alimony include: The ex-spouse does not meet the legally required level of financial need. You are not financially able to provide alimony to your ex-spouse. Your ex-spouse is at fault for the divorce, due to having an affair or another cause.

If the parents have had sufficient contact with Texas, we may be able to enter a Texas order even if one of the parents does not currently reside here. If another state's assistance is needed, UIFSA enables Texas and the other state to cooperate to establish a child support order in that state.
