How Utah calculates alimony
Utah has no statutory formula for alimony. Under Utah Code §30-3-5, the court considers factors such as the financial condition and needs of the recipient, the recipient's earning capacity or ability to produce income, the ability of the payor to provide support, the length of the marriage, and whether the recipient has custody of minor children.
Duration capped at the marriage
- Alimony duration is generally capped at the length of the marriage; permanent alimony is not awarded in Utah.
- Alimony terminates on the recipient's remarriage or cohabitation, or on the death of either spouse.
- Courts may order a shorter or longer period based on the statutory factors, but the marriage length is the outside boundary in most cases.

Can alimony be modified? Yes — alimony may be modified upon a substantial change in circumstances unless the decree states it is non-modifiable.
