Requires courts to consider availability of health insurance coverage in awarding alimony.

This bill requires New Jersey courts to consider health insurance coverage availability when determining alimony awards in divorce or dissolution cases. Specifically, it adds a new factor for courts to evaluate: whether health insurance is available to each party, or whether they can afford coverage, especially when one party was previously covered through the other's employer-sponsored plan. The bill amends New Jersey's alimony statute (N.J.S.2A:34-23) to include this consideration in multiple scenarios, including initial alimony awards, modifications upon retirement, and cases involving loss of employment. This change aims to ensure that courts account for the significant financial impact of health insurance costs when making alimony decisions.
