Maryland Alimony Law Overview

Maryland awards either rehabilitative alimony (with a defined end date) or indefinite alimony. Indefinite alimony requires showing that the requesting spouse cannot reasonably be expected to make substantial progress toward self-support, or that the disparity between the parties' standards of living would be unconscionable.

Formula & Calculation Approach

No statutory formula. Courts consider the ability to be self-supporting, time needed for training, standard of living, duration of marriage, contributions, financial needs and resources, and fault.

Duration Rules in Maryland

Rehabilitative: limited term. Indefinite: available when self-support is not achievable or disparity is unconscionable.
