Spousal Support FAQ — Henry County, GA

How does Georgia determine spousal support?
Georgia courts consider factors including the length of the marriage, each spouse's earning capacity, the standard of living during the marriage, each party's financial resources, and contributions made to the household or the other spouse's career.

Can I modify a spousal support order in Georgia?
Yes. A spousal support modification can be requested when there has been a substantial change in circumstances, such as job loss, a significant income change, or remarriage of the recipient spouse.

Does adultery affect alimony in Georgia?
Yes. Under Georgia law, a spouse who committed adultery may be barred from receiving alimony. Conversely, a paying spouse's adultery can be raised as a factor in determining an award.

How long does spousal support last in Georgia?
Duration depends on the type of alimony awarded. Temporary support ends when the divorce is finalized. Periodic alimony can last for a set term or, in some cases, indefinitely based on the circumstances of the marriage.

What is the difference between a spousal support agreement and a court order?
A spousal support agreement is reached between both spouses, often through negotiation. A court order is issued by a judge when spouses cannot agree. Both are legally enforceable once approved by the court.
