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?
Yes. If the court finds the dependent spouse doesn’t need support or misconduct impacts the case, alimony may be denied.
