In the Year of Our Lord Two Thousand Twenty Four
AN ACT relative to amending the definition of temporary alimony.
Be it Enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Court convened:
1 Annulment, Divorce and Separation; Alimony; Definitions. Amend RSA 458:19, XIV to read as follows:
XIV. "Temporary alimony" means periodic support payments to or on behalf of a spouse while [a] the case is pending and ending on the effective date of the divorce, legal separation, or annulment. Such alimony shall not be [counted toward or subject to either the formula or the duration limits in RSA 458:19-a, III, unless the court finds that the temporary alimony was of unusually long duration.] subject to the duration limits in RSA 458:19-a, but shall be subject to its formula limits unless a party seeking temporary alimony pleads, and the court finds, that immediate, irreparable economic harm would result if the percentage formula were applied and the court makes specific written findings supporting its order.
2 Effective Date. This act shall take effect January 1, 2025.
