CS/SB 1416, Dissolution of Marriage, removes permanent alimony as an option.
The bill also adds the possibility of lump-sum payments, adds the burden of proof to the person seeking support to prove they need it, and sets up a process for ex-spouses who make alimony payments to seek modifications when they retire or conditions change. It will allow judges to reduce or terminate alimony, support or maintenance payments after considering a number of factors, such as:
“The age and health” of the person who makes payments
The customary retirement age of that person’s occupation
“The economic impact” a reduction in alimony would have on the recipient of the payments
The adultery of either spouse and any resulting economic impact
The “motivation for retirement and likelihood of returning to work” for the person making the payments.
The existence of "a supportive relationship" between the ex-spouse receiving payments and another, non-related party. The burden for the ex-spouse making payments to prove that a supportive relationship exists has been removed.
The bill also removes tax consequences and sources of income such as "investments of any asset" from consideration by the court.
