Understanding Alimony in the Final Decree
Hello, I am Dillan Savage of Wirth Law Office – Oklahoma City. Today we will again be discussing alimony. More specifically, however, we are going to be discussing how alimony is broken down in a final decree.
As I have said in a previous video, alimony is split into two different balancing portions, and that’s whether or not one party can pay the alimony, and whether or not another party needs that alimony. So if you are awarded alimony in a final decree, the court is going to need a specific time frame that alimony payments are going to be paid to a recipient, and the exact amount, the dollar amount of those payments.
Key Considerations for Alimony Orders
The court also takes into consideration the alimony payments that a party may be getting instead of a property division as well, and they are again going to need an exact amount. For purposes of a final decree for alimony, there’s going to have to be a specific timeline and a specific money amount before you can ever have alimony placed in your final decree.
The court is not going to let you get away with just this broad statement of alimony. It has to have those specifics. You can read a little bit more about this in Title 43, Section 134a.
