Spousal Maintenance or Spousal Support
Alimony is a term that is no longer recognized to define spousal maintenance or spousal support. Spousal maintenance is ordered when the assets and property awarded to one spouse in the divorce proceeding is not sufficient enough to provide for their continued support.
Colorado has adopted a formula for determining the amount of temporary support for families that earn under $75,000.00 in combined income but has no formula for families that earn more than that amount. In those cases, the length of time and amount for spousal maintenance is let to the discretion of the Courts.
