Alimony, Spousal Support and Maintenance

Alimony is the financial support that one spouse pays to the other.  It can be paid in a variety of ways, including lump sum, monthly for a limited period of time, or indefinitely.  Laws regarding amounts of payments and time required to pay are quite state specific, so it is important to consult with an attorney licensed in your state to resolve issues related to spousal support.

Some issues that might be considered when alimony is awarded include the length of the marriage and the ability of each spouse to earn a living.
