Arizona Spousal Maintenance Analysis
Based on A.R.S. § 25-319 and Arizona Supreme Court Guidelines
This calculator provides estimates based on Arizona spousal maintenance statutes (A.R.S. § 25-319) and the Arizona Supreme Court Guidelines effective January 1, 2026. Arizona uses a two-step system: first determining eligibility under § 25-319(A), then calculating amount and duration under the guidelines. The calculator outputs Low, Midpoint, and High monthly ranges plus duration estimates. The Rule of 65 (age + years married ≥ 65) may indicate indefinite maintenance. The court may deviate from guidelines when they would be inappropriate or unjust, with written findings. Arizona maintenance is awarded without regard to marital misconduct. The order can be made non-modifiable if both parties agree. Future maintenance usually ends on death or remarriage unless the decree states otherwise. This calculator cannot predict specific court outcomes. Consult an Arizona family law attorney for advice specific to your situation.

What Is Arizona Alimony Calculator
A comprehensive tool based on A.R.S. § 25-319 that determines eligibility first, then calculates guideline amounts and duration.
Step 1: Eligibility (A)
Requesting spouse must meet at least one of six statutory criteria: lack of property, lack of earning ability, child care responsibilities, contributions to spouse's education, reduced own career, or long marriage with age barriers.
Step 2: Guidelines (B)
Once eligible, Arizona Supreme Court Guidelines determine Low, Midpoint, and High monthly ranges. Court should order the guideline amount unless written findings show it would be inappropriate or unjust.
Rule of 65
When requesting spouse's age plus years married equals 65 or more, this indicates potential indefinite maintenance. Important factor for long marriages with older spouses.
Duration Factors
Marriage length determines duration range. Permanent disability, indefinite disability, and extraordinary circumstances may extend or modify standard duration calculations.
Deviation Standards
Court may deviate from guidelines when they would be "inappropriate or unjust" but must make written findings. Deviations require specific justification under statutory factors.
No Fault State
Arizona maintenance is awarded without regard to marital misconduct. Fault such as adultery is not a factor in eligibility or amount calculations under Arizona law.
