Statutory Guidelines Illinois Spousal Maintenance

January 17, 2021 by Law Offices of Ronald L. Bell

When spousal maintenance is awarded in an Illinois divorce, the following statutory guidelines serve as a starting point when considering the duration of payments to be made. Courts have discretion to deviate from the guidelines depending on the unique circumstances of your case. The percentage of maintenance depends on the number of years married:

  • Marriage of less than 5 years: 0.20 percent of the duration of the marriage
  • 5 years or more but less than 6 years: 0.24 percent
  • 6 years or more but less than 7 years: 0.28 percent
  • 7 years or more but less than 8 years: 0.32 percent
  • 8 years or more but less than 9 years: 0.36 percent
  • 9 years or more but less than 10 years: 0.40 percent
  • 10 years or more but less than 11 years: 0.44 percent
  • 11 years or more but less than 12 years: 0.48 percent
  • 12 years or more but less than 13 years: 0.52 percent
  • 13 years or more but less than 14 years: 0.56 percent
  • 14 years or more but less than 15 years: 0.60 percent
  • 15 years or more but less than 16 years: 0.64 percent
  • 16 years or more but less than 17 years: 0.68 percent
  • 17 years or more but less than 18 years: 0.72 percent
  • 18 years or more but less than 19 years: 0.76 percent
  • 19 years or more but less than 20 years: 0.80 percent
  • 20 or more years: Indefinite or for a period equal to the length of the marriage
