• The length of the marriage or partnership
• The ability of the receiving spouse to earn income
• The education level and work history of the receiving spouse
• The paying spouse's ability to pay
• Whether either party has remarried or established a new domestic partnership
• Terms and enforceability of a prenuptial agreement
• Whether the receiving spouse contributed to the paying spouse's education, training or professional development.
• The age and physical health of both parties
• Tax consequences to both parties
• Whether domestic violence has occurred
