In this Learn About Law podcast & video blog, attorney Kevin O'Flaherty of O'Flaherty Law discusses the division of property in divorce cases in Illinois. In this video, we will provide an overview of the twelve factors that Illinois courts consider in determining the amount of maintenance to award to a spouse in a divorce proceeding. 1) Income of each spouse. 2) Needs of each party. 3) Present and future earning capacity. 4) Whether Marriage caused educational delays. 5) Time necessary for spouse to obtain education opportunities. 6) Standard of living of each spouse. 7) Duration of the marriage. 8) Age, Emotional and physical condition of each. 9) Tax consequences of property division. 10) Contribution of ones spouse to the other's education or career. 11) Agreements between parties. 12) Courts discretion
Prior to July 1, 2015, the amount and duration of spousal maintenance awards in Illinois divorces, also known as alimony or spousal support, were determined at the discretion of the court by the judge weighing several factors specifically listed in the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act (750 ILCS 5/101, et seq.) (the "IMDMA"). However, in 2015, law was passed that changed this calculation.
According to the new law, the court will weigh these factors to determine whether maintenance is appropriate. However, if maintenance is appropriate, the court is now instructed to use specific formulas to determine both the amount and the duration of the award in most cases. In certain cases, courts are permitted to deviate from the statutory formulas, in which case the divorce court will use the statutory factors to determine the amount and duration of the maintenance award.

In divorce proceedings, maintenance awards can be pain in lump sum or continuing payments on a temporary or permanent basis.

Divorce courts try to put parties in an equal position close to the standard of living they enjoyed during the marriage as possible. Important factors considered are the duration of the marriage, earning capacity of each spouse, and the sacrifices one spouse made during the marriage for the other spouse's career.
