Going through a divorce can be emotionally and financially challenging. One of the most common questions couples face during this process is whether alimony, also known as spousal support, will be required. Alimony is a legal obligation for one spouse to provide financial support to the other after separation or divorce. In Colorado, the court considers a variety of factors to determine if alimony is appropriate, the amount, and the duration.

Alimony is a court-ordered payment from one spouse to another during or after a divorce.

Alimony can be temporary, rehabilitative, or permanent, depending on the circumstances of your case.

Alimony duration in Colorado Springs depends largely on how long the marriage lasted. Shorter marriages may result in temporary support, while longer marriages can involve extended maintenance.

Yes. If you experience a substantial and ongoing change—such as job loss, income increase, retirement, or health issues—you may be eligible to modify alimony. Divorce Matters can help you pursue or defend against an alimony modification in Colorado Springs courts.
No. Colorado is a no-fault divorce state, meaning infidelity or other misconduct generally does not impact alimony decisions. Courts focus on financial factors, not blame. Divorce Matters ensures the court’s analysis stays fair and legally appropriate.
Spousal support automatically ends if the receiving spouse remarries. Cohabitation does not automatically terminate alimony, but it may justify a modification if financial needs have changed. Divorce Matters can help gather evidence and present a strong case for adjustment when appropriate.
