The receipt or payment of alimony or spousal support has to do with the duration of the marriage and the amount of the difference of the income between the two spouses. There are 29 factors that the court looks at including the age, education, duration of the marriage, the number of children, the amount of assets that people have, and who has been, if anyone, dependent on the other person for support.
