What Permanent Alimony Means in Loudoun County
Permanent alimony, also called indefinite spousal support, is a court-ordered payment from one spouse to the other that continues for an undefined period after a divorce. In Virginia, the authority to award permanent alimony comes from Va. Code § 20-107.1. The Loudoun County Circuit Court—located at 18 East Market Street, Leesburg, VA 20176—holds exclusive jurisdiction over divorce, equitable distribution, and spousal support matters. For spouses who gave up careers to support a family or who are unable to become fully self-supporting due to age, health, or other circumstances, permanent alimony can provide necessary financial continuity.
Loudoun County is Virginia’s fastest-growing county, known for its tech professionals, commuters, and suburban families. The economic landscape here means many divorces involve substantial assets, professional practices, or high-earning spouses. The Circuit Court examines the duration of the marriage, each party’s contributions to the family’s well‑being, the standard of living established during the marriage, and the earning capacities of both spouses. In our practice representing clients in Loudoun County, the court carefully assesses whether a supported spouse can realistically become self‑supporting and, when it is unlikely, may order alimony that lasts until further order of the court.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is permanent alimony in Virginia?
Permanent alimony, also called indefinite spousal support, is court‑ordered financial support paid by one ex‑spouse to the other for an undefined duration after divorce. Under Va. Code § 20-107.1, the court may award support that continues until a change in circumstances or the death of either party. Unlike rehabilitative alimony, which is designed to help a spouse become self‑supporting within a specific time, permanent alimony recognizes that, in some long‑term marriages, a spouse may never be able to achieve financial independence. For guidance on your specific situation, reach Law Offices Of SRIS, P.C. at (888) 437-7747.
How does the Loudoun County court decide whether to award permanent alimony?
The Loudoun County Circuit Court decides permanent alimony by weighing the 13 factors listed in Va. Code § 20-107.1, including the marriage’s duration, the standard of living during the marriage, and each party’s ability to work. The court also considers contributions to the family, tax consequences, and the grounds for divorce. In Loudoun County, where many families have high household incomes and significant assets, the court examines whether a divorcing spouse who has been out of the workforce can reasonably become self‑supporting given their age, education, and health. To discuss the details of your matter, contact Law Offices Of SRIS, P.C. at (888) 437-7747.
Can permanent alimony be modified after it is awarded?
Yes, permanent alimony can be modified if there is a material change in circumstances. For example, a substantial increase or decrease in either party’s income, remarriage of the supported spouse, or cohabitation in a relationship analogous to marriage may justify a modification. The party seeking the change must file a petition in the Loudoun County Circuit Court. The court then applies the same statutory factors to determine whether the prior award should be adjusted. For a consultation, reach Mr. Sris and his Of Counsel at (888) 437-7747.
Do I need a lawyer for a permanent alimony case in Loudoun County?
