In Missouri, alimony, also known as spousal support, is not automatically awarded in divorces; it is determined on a case-by-case basis. The court considers several factors, including the length of the marriage, the financial resources of both spouses, and the needs of the receiving spouse. If the court finds that one spouse is economically disadvantaged and requires support to maintain a reasonable standard of living, it may order alimony payments. Ultimately, the decision depends on the specific circumstances of the case.
The alimony you get can increase based on the income of both spouses. If the person paying the alimony starts to make more money, they can be required to pay more based on a percentage.
No, a veteran will not have to pay alimony out of their VA pay.
If a husband files for divorce he can specify that no alimony be paid. If a wife files, she can ask for alimony, but usually it's because she has no income or a very low amount of salary. The wife can ask for whatever amount she wants but the husband can file a paper showing that he can't afford that amount. The judge can decide how much it will be. Usually it's less than half of whatever the spouse earns. Many women don't ask for alimony. In most divorces women don't pay alimony to men. If you have a rich wife you could get it. If the woman (or man) receives alimony and gets married - the alimony stops. If the person who pays alimony gets married they still have to pay it.

In many jurisdictions, alimony is determined by various factors, including the length of the marriage, the income and financial needs of both spouses, and the standard of living established during the marriage. If your wife earns significantly more than you, it may reduce or eliminate the likelihood of you having to pay alimony. However, specific laws vary by state or country, so it's essential to consult a legal professional for personalized advice.
