Alimony Reform

Alimony reform refers to changes in laws and regulations governing spousal support payments after a divorce. Traditionally, alimony was often awarded based on gender and indefinite duration, leading to financial dependency. Reform efforts aim to make alimony fairer and more predictable, promoting guidelines for calculations, time limits for support duration, and ensuring payments are based on actual need and financial circumstances. The goal is to balance the rights and responsibilities of both spouses, encouraging financial independence and reducing long-term obligations that can hinder personal and economic growth after divorce.
