Alimony, sometimes called spousal support, plays a major role in many divorce cases and post-divorce adjustments.

At Hoyer Law Firm, our Lehi alimony attorneys guide clients through every step of the process, working to secure fair outcomes that reflect your financial needs and long-term goals.

What Is Alimony and When is it Paid?

Alimony is intended to address financial imbalance following a divorce. Its purpose is to help one spouse transition to financial independence or maintain reasonable stability when there is a meaningful difference in income or earning potential between the parties. When deciding whether alimony is appropriate, Utah courts evaluate a range of considerations, which may include:

• The receiving spouse’s financial obligations, skills, and ability to earn income
• The paying spouse’s income and capacity to meet support obligations
• The length of the marriage and how finances were structured during that time
• The lifestyle the parties maintained while married
• Sacrifices or contributions made by either spouse to support the other’s education, training, or career advancement
