Courts may grant temporary or permanent maintenance, commonly referred to as alimony, in a divorce. Under Illinois law, the court considers a number of relevant factors such as the income and property of each spouse, the needs of each party, any impairment to the present or future earning capacity of the spouse seeking maintenance, standard of living during the marriage, duration of the marriage, and a number of other factors.
