Alimony and Spousal Maintenance

Alimony is the obligation to provide spousal support after separation or divorce. Alimony can exist for a certain period of time or until the spouse remarries or dies. It can also be paid in a lump sum. Factors used to consider alimony include the marriage’s length, each party’s health, assets each party owns, and contributions of each party to child raising, homemaking and career building.
