Summary
The bill changes Utah’s alimony statutes so courts must weigh tax impacts, consider the combined length of two marriages between the same people, and treat cohabitation as a reason to stop payments. It also clarifies when alimony can be changed after a divorce and when it ends automatically, such as after the recipient remarries or dies. These updates aim to make alimony awards fairer and more predictable for both spouses.
