Certification of Health

A Certification of Health provides information about a party’s current health status in an alimony case. The certification includes details about any medical conditions, disabilities, or health issues that impact the party’s ability to work or their need for financial support. The certification may also include information about any ongoing medical treatment, medication, or therapy required to manage the health condition. The purpose of the certification is to support a request for alimony based on a medical condition that limits the party’s ability to work and earn income, or to oppose a request for alimony based on the other party’s health status and ability to work. The court may consider the information provided in the certification when determining the appropriate amount and duration of alimony, taking into account the party’s health-related needs and limitations. The certification may be accompanied by supporting documentation, such as medical records or a physician’s statement, to verify the accuracy of the information provided.
