Do You Support the Alimony Reform Bill? [POLL]

One of the hot-button topics being discussed by NJ voters is alimony reform.

New Jersey's alimony laws are outdated and often very unfair according to the members of the Assembly members who sponsor legislation on permanent alimony and establish guidelines for the amount and duration of other types of alimony.

According to Kevin McArdle's report, here are the goals of the alimony reform bill:

The bill would eliminate permanent alimony awards and establish guidelines for the term of limited duration alimony based on the length of the marriage. The guidelines are as follows:

• If the duration of the marriage or civil union is five years or less, the term of alimony would be a maximum of one-half the number of months of the marriage or civil union
• If the duration of the marriage or civil union is 10 years or less but greater than five years, the term of alimony would be a maximum of 60 percent of the number of months of the marriage or civil union
• If the duration of the marriage or civil union is 15 years or less but greater than 10 years, the term of alimony would be a maximum of 70 percent of the number of months of the marriage or civil union
• If the duration of the marriage or civil union is 20 years or less but greater than 15 years, the term of alimony would be a maximum of 80 percent of the number of months of the marriage or civil union
• If the duration of the marriage or civil union is greater than 20 years, the court would have discretion to award alimony for an indefinite length of time
