Maryland Alimony Analysis Results
Based on Maryland § 11-106 statutory factors
This calculator provides estimates based on Maryland alimony statutes (§ 11-106) and common judicial practices. Maryland alimony is usually rehabilitative, meant to help a dependent spouse become self-supporting. Indefinite alimony may apply if due to age, illness, infirmity, or disability the recipient cannot reasonably become self-supporting, or if even after becoming self-sufficient the parties' standards of living would be unconscionably disparate. Maryland has no fixed statewide formula for calculating alimony - courts decide case by case weighing statutory factors. Alimony can start from the filing of the pleading requesting it. At the end of the award period, no further alimony accrues unless the order is indefinite or otherwise extended. Maryland courts consider factors including: marriage length, age and health of parties, income and earning capacity, standard of living, contributions to marriage, property awards, and financial needs. This calculator cannot predict specific court outcomes. Consult a Maryland family law attorney for advice specific to your situation.
