What Are the Maryland Factors For Awarding Alimony?
Information Provided by: Gimmel, Weiman, Ersek & Blomberg, P.A.

In Maryland, when awarding alimony, the Court must consider all factors necessary for a fair and equitable award.

The factors for alimony include:

  • (1) the ability to be wholly or partly self-supporting;
  • (2) the time necessary to gain sufficient education or training to find suitable employment;
  • (3) the parties' standard of living during the marriage;
  • (4) the duration of the marriage;
  • (5) each party's contributions, monetary and non-monetary, to the well-being of the family;
  • (6) the circumstances that contributed to the parties' estrangement;
  • (7) each party's age;
  • (8) each party's physical and mental condition;
  • (9) the ability of the party from who alimony is sought to meet that party's needs while meeting the needs of the party seeking alimony;
  • (10) any agreement between the parties;
  • (11) the financial needs and resources of each party; and (12) any other relevant factor.
