Alaska Alimony

Under state divorce laws, the Alaska divorce court will order one spouse to pay the other an alimony award if the spouse can't negotiate an agreement.

When determining alimony during divorce, the Alaska divorce court will consider:

• Length of the marriage
• Age and health of the spouses
• Earning capacity of each spouse, including:
• Educational backgrounds
• Training
• Employment skills
• Work experiences
• Length of absence from the job market
• Custodial responsibilities during the marriage
• Each spouse's financial condition, including availability and cost of health insurance
• Marital conduct, including if there were hidden assets or unreasonable depletion of marital property
• Property distribution
• Other relevant factors
