Either spouse may be awarded Alimony if he or she:
(1) is dependent on the other spouse; (2) lacks sufficient Property, including any award or marital Property, to provide for his or her reasonable needs; and (3) is unable to support himself or herself through appropriate employment or is the custodian of a child whose condition or circumstances make it appropriate that he or she not be required to seek employment. Either spouse may be awarded Alimony for no longer than a period of time equal to 50% of the length of the Marriage. There is, however, no time limit if the Marriage lasted for over 20 years.
Marital misconduct is not a factor to be considered in an award or Alimony. The factors to be considered are:
(1) the time necessary to acquire sufficient education and training to enable the spouse to find appropriate employment and that spouse's future earning capacity; (2) the standard of living established during the Marriage; (3) the duration of the Marriage; (4) the ability of the spouse from whom support is sought to meet his or her needs while meeting those of the spouse seeking support; (5) the financial resources of the spouse seeking Alimony, including marital Property apportioned to such spouse and such spouse's ability to meet his or her needs independently; (6) the tax consequences to each spouse; (7) the age of the spouses; (8) the physical and emotional conditions of the spouses; (9) any custodial and child support responsibilities; (10) whether either spouse has foregone or postponed economic, education, or other employment opportunities during the course of the Marriage; and (11) any other factor that the court finds just and appropriate.
Any party awarded Alimony has a duty to make an effort to seek vocational training and employment unless the court finds that it would be inequitable to require this because of: (1) a severe physical or mental disability; (2) his or her age; or (3) the needs of any children living with the spouse receiving Alimony. Unless the spouses agree otherwise, Alimony is terminated upon death, reMarriage, or cohabitation with another person. [Delaware Code Annotated; Title 13, Chapter 1512].
