If a party is working and earning income can he or she still receive alimony?

Even though one party in a marriage might work and earn income, it does not mean alimony is out of the question in Connecticut. While you may think both parties working may automatically preclude an award of alimony, it’s actually not that simple in Connecticut. Sarah E. Murray explains that even if both spouses have an income, a court could determine that the lower earner still qualifies for an alimony award. This is especially true if there’s a significant disparity in income, that won’t allow the other spouse to live in the manner they’re accustomed to.
