Alimony Law

 


What is Alimony Law?

Alimony law refers to the payments one spouse gives to the other. Some states refer to this as alimony whereas other states consider it maintenance. Though each may have different names, they are considered the same. As child support guidelines may vary from state to state, so do the guidelines for spousal support.

Contact a divorce attorney in your area to learn more about your alimony payments.

Our divorce attorneys will inform you of the spousal support guidelines in your state. Spousal support guidelines will then decide the version and amount of alimony to be received. All states are regulated to allow alimony, yet some courts are reluctant to do so.

There are several types of alimony that can be received including:

  • Temporary Alimony
  • Rehabilitation Alimony
  • Permanent Alimony
  • Reimbursement Alimony
  • Lump-sum Alimony

Temporary alimony is given during the period where both parties are not legally divorced yet, whereas permanent alimony refers to alimony given indefinitely. Permanent alimony can only be disbanded after either party’s death or in the case where the recipient has remarried. Rehabilitative alimony refers to payments given in order to aid in the receivers attempts to become self-supportive. In the case of one spouses need to reimburse the other, reimbursement alimony will be implemented.

Contact a divorce attorney in your area to learn more about your alimony payments.
