Recently released, the report outlines 14 factors that the courts must analyze and apply under the alimony statute in New Jersey. These factors include the need of an individual for support, the duration of the marriage, the age and health of individuals, earning capacities, and the involvement of children.

The report also notes that apart from the 14 factors, courts may also consider the savings component of the parties and how much they were able to save during marriage, monthly. The assessment is to continue the financial status quo as far as savings for the spouse receiving support.

Furthermore, the report adds that an amendment to the alimony statute in 2014 directs courts also to consider the impact of parties needing separate homes. Plus, both sides must have equal standards of living with neither party having more in living standards than the other.
