Missouri Alimony Law Overview

Missouri awards maintenance based on a straightforward needs-versus-ability-to-pay analysis. Courts first determine whether the requesting spouse lacks sufficient property and cannot be self-supporting, then determine the appropriate amount and duration. Missouri is a no-fault state.

Formula & Calculation Approach

No statutory formula. Courts consider the requesting spouse's financial resources, earning capacity, standard of living, duration of marriage, and each spouse's age and health.

Duration Rules in Missouri

Variable. Maintenance can be temporary, fixed-term, or permanent depending on the circumstances. Long marriages more likely to result in long-term support.
