ALABAMA Part 42

In determining the ability of a higher earning spouse to pay alimony, the court will generally not consider as part of the paying spouse's assets any property the spouse owned before marriage, or acquired by gift or inheritance, unless the property was used by the couple as a source of income during marriage. A court may consider vested retirement benefits accumulated during the marriage as an available source of alimony if the couple has been married for at least 10 years.
