Compare a proposed North Dakota spousal-support payment.

Enter a payment you choose, household budgets, marriage length, and when the action was filed.

The current statutory duration table applies only to actions filed on or after August 1, 2023.

Applies to take-home income only. Expenses and the proposed payment are monthly.

Household paying spousal support

Household receiving spousal support

Choose your own figure. North Dakota law supplies duration limits for current cases, but no statewide dollar formula.

Length of the marriage

For §14-05-24.1, marriage length runs from the marriage date until service of the summons.

This worksheet compares a payment you choose and, when applicable, shows the current statutory duration limit.

Your North Dakota scenario

Compare a chosen payment and review the current duration rules.

The result never turns the duration table into a predicted dollar award.

  • Before-and-after household budgets
  • Current-law duration limit when applicable
  • No invented court-award estimate

This is a planning worksheet, not an entitlement decision.
