Understanding the Possibilities for Alimony
When one household is split in two, there is a strain on the financial foundation. Even so, spousal support (alimony) is available in Oregon based on a variety of factors:
- Length of the marriage or partnership
- Ability of the spouse or partner receiving support to earn income
- Education level and work history of the supported spouse or partner
- Age and health (both physical and mental) of the parties
- Contribution by one spouse or partner to the education, training and earning power of the other
- Earning capacity of each person
- Other financial and/or tax considerations
- Terms and enforceability of any prenuptial/premarital agreement
- Time the receiving spouse or partner stayed out of the workforce to raise the children

In Oregon, spousal support laws are gender neutral. Spousal support or maintenance is money paid by one ex-spouse or same-sex domestic partner to the other as part of a dissolution proceeding. If support is not awarded at the time of the divorce, it is difficult to file for a modification later.
The law firm of M. David Daniel, Attorney & Counselor at Law, LLC, has worked with many clients over the years on spousal support orders. In our 25 years of experience, we have gotten many transitional, compensatory and maintenance support awards for our clients.
