Divorce and Spouse Alimony | Rechtswinkel.nl

Questioner

I am 67 years old, soon to be 68 and after a marriage of 12 years my partner who is 10 years younger has decided to divorce. In addition to dividing our possessions (home with equity) my wife also wants spousal support. Is it correct that in this situation I also have to pay spousal support for 12 years? Due to my age I foresee declining health (and especially loneliness) which will be accompanied by extra costs that I of course do not have a view on yet.

Lawyer

In the event of a divorce after a marriage of 5 years or longer, the period for which alimony must be paid is 12 years. The amount of alimony depends on your income and expenses and the income of your ex-partner. If your expenses change in the future, you can request an adjustment of the amount of alimony.

Indeed, a calculation will have to be made as to who should pay how much spousal support. I am happy to help you with divorce and alimony calculations
