Understanding Alimony <\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Alimony is interchangeably referred to by other terms, such as spousal support and spousal maintenance. It is money legally court ordered to be paid to one spouse by the other, generally during or after a divorce, for the purpose of maintaining the standard of living both parties grew accustomed to during the marriage. Who pays the alimony depends on certain factors, which can vary from state to state. Most often, the spouse who earned the most money through the duration of the marriage is the person ordered to pay alimony. However, other factors, such as the primary roles during the marriage, the number of dependents shared, and spousal collaboration, can also affect alimony orders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are three common types of alimony that can be awarded\nby a court order in the process or conclusion of a divorce: temporary alimony,\nrehabilitative alimony, and permanent alimony. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2776 Temporary Alimony<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Temporary alimony is a type of spousal support arrangement\nthat ordered to be paid for a set, limited amount of time. Often times, temporary\nalimony is awarded when a divorce causes a spouse financial hardships. The\ntemporary spousal support order allows them to recover financially during the\ndivorce process. The order then expires once the spouse achieves financial\nstability again. The eligibility and time limits for this type of alimony\ndepends on your state and their particular divorce procedures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2777 Rehabilitative Alimony<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Rehabilitative alimony is a type of spousal maintenance that\nis ordered to allow a dependent spouse to go back to school or participate in\nvocational training in order to get back into the work force after a divorce\nand eventually become financially independent. Traditionally, this has been\ncommon for stay-at-home parents and care givers who did not work throughout the\nduration of the marriage. Laws governing eligibility and limits for\nrehabilitative alimony differ among jurisdictions, so it is important to check\nwith your state for accurate information. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2778 Permanent Alimony<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

A less common, but still possible, type of alimony is\npermanent alimony. This spousal support arrangement remains in effect until the\nrecipient of the alimony remarries, or until either spouse perishes. However,\nin some cases, even a remarriage will not void a permanent alimony order. This\ntype of spousal support is often ordered in cases of long-term marriages, or in\nmarriages in which the recipient has a disability that prevents them from\nworking. Commonly, permanent alimony is paid all in one payment, also known as lump sum alimony<\/em>. Most states will\npermit a spouse to choose lump sum alimony arrangement, so long as the total\namounts to all future payments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
