STATE-BY-STATE STARTING POINTS

Alimony resources,
where you are.

Use this directory to find plain-language divorce information for your state. State law and court procedure differ. Treat external summaries as a starting point, check their update dates, and follow the cited law and court instructions.

Important: A state cannot be chosen just because its alimony rules seem more favorable. Residency, jurisdiction, existing orders, and case facts can affect where a court may hear a case. Get local legal advice before making filing or relocation decisions.

The state links below open plain-language divorce resources maintained by Women’sLaw.org, an independent nonprofit resource. These are not official court or government pages. For statutory comparison, use the ABA’s 2026 family-law charts, which are current through January 1, 2026 and cite state statutes. The ABA notes that its chart is not legal advice and does not capture every judicially developed rule.
