You don't. The judge does, based on current guidelines for the court. If alimony is involved, you need an attorney.

What if I were never legally married in California but have been told by the court to pay alimony?

If you were never legally married in California, the court would generally not have the authority to order you to pay alimony.

If you have been wrongly ordered to pay alimony, you should consult with a family law attorney to seek judicial review and potentially have the order overturned.

How much alomony do you get?

An award of alimony, if warranted, is based on need, ability to pay, and appropriateness. There is no calculation or formula. The Court would consider the situation of the parties, the length of the marriage, the conduct of the parties resulting in divorce, and other factors to determine whether alimony is appropriate, and if so, how much.
