Can per-diem be used in deciding alimony?

Per diem can be considered in determining alimony if it reflects the recipient's actual living expenses or needs. Courts may evaluate the per diem rates in relation to the standard of living established during the marriage. However, the primary factors in alimony decisions typically focus on income, duration of the marriage, and the financial needs of both parties. Ultimately, it depends on the jurisdiction and specific circumstances of the case.
