Editing Alimony (section)

=== Czech Republic ===
Laws of the Czech Republic provide for spousal maintenance both during marriage and after divorce. As main principle, both spouses have the right for generally equal standard of living during the marriage.<ref name="CZ">{{cite web|url=https://gawron.cz/attorneys-introduction-into-spousal-alimony-payments-after-divorce-in-the-czech-republic/|title=Attorney's introduction into spousal alimony payments after divorce in the Czech Republic|access-date=11 January 2020|website=gawron.cz|last=Gawron|first=Tomáš|date=28 August 2019 }}</ref>

The same "generally equal standard of living" applies also to post-divorce period in special cases, when the payee wasn't mostly responsible for the failure of marriage or did not agree with the divorce and the payee suffered serious harm due to the divorce and hadn't committed an act of domestic violence against the payer. In such case the payee may request alimony in amount providing "generally equal standard of living" for a period adequate to circumstances, but no longer than three years.<ref name="CZ" />

If those special conditions are not met, both of the divorced have mutual spousal maintenance obligation in case that one of them is not able to provide for themselves due to circumstances originating in marriage, if payment of alimony is reasonable under general circumstances that each of the divorced found themselves in.<ref name="CZ" />
