Questions You Want Answered > Spousal Support > For how long will alimony be paid?

Search the FAQ for entries containing:

In Maryland, the length of time alimony will be paid depends on a number of factors, such as length of marriage, ability of the recipient to be self-supporting, the length of time necessary to become self-supporting, and the ages of the parties, just to name a few.  If the recipient may never become self-supporting, or if when they are fully self supporting, the standard of living of the apouses will be what Maryland law calls "unconscionably disparate," then alimony may be indefinite in duration.
