The calculator offers an estimated alimony amount and duration based on Oregon’s guidelines and user-provided inputs about financial and non-financial factors related to both spouses.

Nuances and Important Points

Oregon courts have considerable discretion in awarding alimony, taking into account the receiving spouse’s needs and the paying spouse’s ability to pay.

Rehabilitative Alimony:

Emphasis is often on rehabilitative alimony, supporting the recipient while they obtain the necessary education or training to become self-sufficient.

Types of Support:

Transitional support intends to help the recipient transition to post-divorce life and compensatory support for significant contributions to the other spouse’s education or career.

Modification and Termination:

Alimony can be modified or terminated based on significant changes in circumstances, such as remarriage, income changes, or health issues.

No Strict Formula:

Oregon has no strict formula for calculating alimony, allowing for case-by-case adjustments.
