Amends alimony law to define reasonably anticipated earnings for marriages lasting ten years or less.

This bill amends South Carolina's alimony law by modifying Section 20-3-130. It establishes that for marriages lasting ten years or less, reasonably anticipated earnings must be based solely on what each spouse could have earned without considering missed opportunities due to being a spouse or parent. This change aims to provide clearer guidelines for alimony calculations in short-term marriages.
