Several subjective factors like the length of the marriage, financial conditions, and earning capacities are considered in the Hawaii alimony law to award alimony to a party in a divorce.

But there should be specific basic eligibility met by either of the parties to request spousal support.

The eligibilities include:

• The prime factor in obtaining spousal support in Hawaii is a valid legal marriage without any written documents on the waiver for spousal support.

• Also, the divorce laws of Hawaii consider a party with no legal marriage but a child born of the relationship eligible to obtain alimony.

• After all, the court also considers the ability of the party to pay their ex-spouse the determined support amount.
