As Bucks County divorce lawyers, we have discussed the general guidelines for alimony. But, how long can alimony be ordered for?
There is no set time to receive alimony payments. Depending on the circumstances, the court may provide alimony for a specific period of time which can have an end date or be for lifetime. The Bucks County court also has the ability to terminate or change the time line providing an ex spouse can demonstrate a legitimate need or change in circumstances. If the spouse receiving alimony remarries or commences living with a non related member of the opposite sex, then alimony is terminated.
