Ohio courts have significant discretion in awarding spousal support. 14 statutory factors guide courts, but there is no fixed formula. Courts may award spousal support for a fixed period or on a continuing basis. Ohio is a no-fault state.

Formula & Calculation Approach

14 factors (ORC 3105.18): income and earning abilities, retirement benefits, duration of marriage, extent of absences from employment, standard of living, age and health, assets and liabilities, contributions to education or career, tax consequences, lost income due to homemaking, and any other relevant factor.

Duration Rules in Ohio

Variable. Duration often approximates 20-40% of the marriage length but is entirely at the court's discretion.
