Just as the Court must consider specific factors in determining whether a deviation in child support is appropriate, the court must also consider specific factors in allocating an award of spousal support.
The factors which the court must consider in awarding spousal support are as follows:
1. The income of the parties;
2. The relative earning abilities of the parties;
3. Ages and physical, mental and emotional health;
4. The retirement benefits of the parties;
5. The duration of the marriage;
