Spousal support, also referred to as alimony, is a possibility in any divorce or legal separation. There are several factors that are weighed by the judge, in addition to a spouse’s financial need and accustomed standard of living, as well as the other spouse’s ability to pay. Spousal support can be awarded in lump sum or in monthly increments. There are many kinds of support including temporary or permanent support. In a permanent support award, such support is typically paid until the paying spouse dies, the receiving spouse dies, or receiving spouse remarries.
