Low / Avg / High in seconds
North Carolina requires the requesting spouse to prove dependency. Marital fault is significant — illicit sexual behavior by the dependent spouse completely bars their alimony claim, while fault by the supporting spouse makes alimony mandatory.
No statutory formula. Courts consider all relevant factors including each spouse's earning capacity, financial needs, standard of living, age, health, and contributions to the marriage.
At the court's discretion. Permanent alimony is available. Duration is influenced by the length of the marriage and the recipient's ability to achieve self-support.
