New Jersey has four types of alimony: open durational (for marriages of 20+ years), limited duration (for marriages under 20 years), rehabilitative, and reimbursement. The 2014 reform abolished permanent alimony and replaced it with open durational alimony for long marriages. 17 statutory factors guide courts.
17 factors include: needs and ability to pay, duration of marriage, age and health, standard of living, earning capacities, length of unemployment, parental responsibilities, time off from work, education needed, and contributions to the other's career.
Open durational: for marriages 20+ years with no set end date. Limited duration: for marriages under 20 years, duration cannot exceed the length of the marriage.
