Virginia Alimony Law Overview

Virginia considers 13 statutory factors for spousal support. Critically, adultery proven by clear and convincing evidence completely bars alimony for the at-fault spouse, with a rare manifest injustice exception. Virginia does not have a statutory formula for amount.

Formula & Calculation Approach

13 factors (VA Code 20-107.1): obligations and needs of the parties, standard of living, duration of marriage, age and health, earning capacity, contributions, property interests, earning capacity of each, duration of absence from employment, degree of education needed, and tax implications.

Duration Rules in Virginia

At the court's discretion. Can be temporary, limited-term, or permanent. Duration influenced by marriage length.
