Alimony Amendments

Summary

The bill changes Utah’s alimony statutes so judges must consider the tax consequences for both parties, define what counts as cohabitation, and clarify how the length of a marriage is measured. It also lets courts treat two successive marriages between the same people as a single, longer marriage for alimony calculations when the divorce filing occurs on or after Jan. 1, 2026, but only at the court’s discretion. These changes affect divorcing spouses, family‑law judges, and anyone seeking to modify alimony orders.
