Spousal Support/Spousal Maintenance
Spousal support, also known as alimony, may be an applicable component in some divorces, depending on a variety of factors, including:
- The earning potential of both parties
- The length of the marriage
- The health of the parties
- The standard of living the parties are accustomed to
There are two types of spousal support most often recognized by the courts -- temporary spousal support and permanent spousal support. Temporary support is set by the court to provide income for one of the spouses during the divorce process. A permanent support amount is granted by the courts, providing for a one-time payment or monthly payment over an extended period of time.
