Household paying alimony

Household receiving alimony

Choose your own figure. D.C. Code §16-913 does not provide a districtwide percentage formula for alimony.

Length of the marriage

Marriage length is one factor under D.C. Code §16-913. The statute does not convert it into a fixed amount or duration.

This worksheet compares a payment you choose. It does not predict what a D.C. court would order.
