How does alimony work in Arizona?

There are no set guidelines in Arizona for spousal maintenance like there are for child support. However, there are a variety of factors that go into what determines a person’s eligibility for alimony after divorce. These factors can affect the duration and amount that is paid.

There are various types of spousal maintenance that may be ordered from the spouse of greater means to the spouse with lesser means. This can include:

• Temporary Alimony ordered while a divorce is ongoing so the dependent spouse can take care of their needs during the process.
• Transitionary Alimony used to help the dependent spouse by assisting them to gain an education or get vocation training for a new job so they can become independent. This alimony is stopped once the dependent spouse is economically stable.
• Permanent Alimony payments are longer-term and usually made monthly to the spouse with lesser economic means. This type of alimony is typical after longer marriages and is meant to help the dependent spouse live a lifestyle they were accustomed to during the marriage.
