What Factors Influence NY Maintenance Awards?
Understanding the legal variables used to determine duration and amount for spousal support in New York.
Income Cap Logic
Guidelines apply to the first $228,000 (current cap) of the payer's income, with judicial discretion for amounts above this limit.
Marriage Length
Duration is calculated as a percentage of the marriage: 15-30% (0-15 yrs), 30-40% (15-20 yrs), or 35-50% (20+ yrs).
Earning Capacity
Courts evaluate each spouse's ability to be self-supporting, including the time and training needed for the recipient to find work.
Health And Age
The physical and mental health of both parties are critical factors in determining if support is necessary and for how long.
Standard Of Living
Support is estimated to help the recipient maintain a standard of living reasonably comparable to the marital lifestyle.
Asset Distribution
Income produced by distributed marital property can reduce the ultimate need for monthly maintenance payments.
