How does North Carolina determine alimony?
Courts consider factors like income, earning ability, marital misconduct, contributions to the marriage, and financial needs.

Can alimony be modified?

How long does alimony last?
It depends on factors like marriage length, financial need, and the court’s discretion. Some orders last months; others last years.
Can alimony be denied?
