Alimony, also known as spousal support, is the payment that is made from a former spouse to the other spouse following a divorce. Generally, courts use the payment of alimony to equalize the difference in earnings between divorcing spouses.
In Nevada, there is no set formula for deciding whether one spouse will pay alimony to another. In deciding whether to make an award of alimony, judges will consider the following factors:
Just like there is no formula to calculate the amount of support, the is no set formula to determine how long alimony will be paid. Usually, a judge will only award alimony for as long as the judge believes it will take the receiving spouse to become self-supporting. Must courts will set a specific deadline for the payment of different types of alimony. However, if the divorce decree did not specify a termination date, the alimony payments must continue until the court orders otherwise, the receiving party remarries or dies.
