Fault Considered when Awarding Alimony
Posted on Apr 9, 2011 8:05pm PDT
In Utah, a bill that is being considered would reportedly allow a judge to consider fault when awarding alimony. Parents who are stay-at-home parents before the split may be awarded extra money in order to remain stay-at-home parents. If the stay-at-home parent isn’t considered “at fault” in the divorce, then they may be awarded enough alimony to keep them from having to support themselves.
