Under OCGA sec 19-5-5, any spouse may be awarded alimony as long as he or she is not guilty of desertion or adultery.
Other factors are also considered when the parties are not able to agree including: 1. the participation each party had to the marital estate; 2. the duration of the marriage; 3. the future earning capacity and financial resources of each party; 4. the age and medical condition of each party; 5. the future earning capacity of each party; 6. the value of each party’s separate property; 7. the standard of living sustained during the marriage; and 8. rehabilitative time one party may need to gain employment. |
