The complexity of determining alimony in high-asset divorce arises because we must balance the income of one spouse with the reasonable needs of the dependent spouse. Making the situation more challenging is the fact that there is no statutory formula for determining spousal support in Connecticut. The court will consider factors such as:

  • Length of the marriage
  • Marital fault
  • Age and health of each party
  • Income and earning capabilities of each party
  • Whether one spouse financially supported the education or training of the other
  • Contributions of one spouse as a homemaker or child-rearer

In high net worth divorces, the court must also consider how much alimony to award so that the receiving spouse can maintain the lifestyle he or she was accustomed to during the marriage. This is typically the most subjective issue. You will need an experienced attorney who can provide a solid argument for your side of the case. You can be sure that your spouse will be ready to fight hard on this point. We will be prepared to counter his or her arguments.
